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
