Responsible Gaming

Gambling can be addictive. Please play responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose. If you suspect you have a gambling problem, seek professional help immediately.

If you have problems with gambling, please contact a professional counselling centre or self-help group. There are many organisations across Australia that offer free and confidential help for people with gambling problems.

Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you control your gaming:

• Deposit limits — set maximum amounts you can deposit per day, week or month
• Time limits — set maximum playing time
• Self-exclusion — temporarily or permanently block your account
• Reality checks — regular reminders about time spent playing

Be aware of these warning signs:

• Playing for more money than you originally planned
• Need to play for increasingly higher amounts
• Repeated attempts to win back lost money
• Borrowing money to gamble
• Neglecting work, school or family because of gambling
