Responsible Gambling

We are committed to promoting responsible gambling. This page provides important information and resources for Australian players who want to maintain a healthy relationship with online gambling.

Gambling as Entertainment

Online gambling should always be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to make money. Set a budget before you play and stick to it. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose — never chase losses.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognising the signs of problem gambling is an important step. Watch for these warning signs:

  • Gambling with money needed for bills, food, or rent
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
  • Lying to family or friends about gambling habits
  • Chasing losses with larger bets
  • Neglecting work, relationships, or personal health due to gambling
