Responsible Gambling
Gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment — never a way to make money or escape personal problems. This page provides guidance on responsible gambling practices and lists resources available to Australian players who may need support.
Gambling Responsibly
Here are some key principles for maintaining a healthy relationship with gambling:
- Set a budget before you play and stick to it.
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
- Set time limits and take regular breaks.
- Never chase losses — accept that losing is part of the game.
- Do not gamble while under the influence of alcohol or substances.
- Treat gambling as entertainment, not as income.
- Keep gambling separate from your work, family, and financial obligations.
Signs of Problem Gambling
You may have a problem with gambling if you:
- Spend more time or money gambling than you intended.
- Feel irritable or anxious when not gambling.
- Chase losses or borrow money to gamble.
- Hide your gambling from friends or family.
- Neglect work, study, or personal responsibilities due to gambling.
