Responsible Gambling

Gambling should be entertaining — a form of leisure, not a way to earn money or escape problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gambling and providing Australian players with the information and resources they need to make informed decisions.

Know the Risks

Online casino games are designed to favour the house over the long term. Outcomes are determined by random number generators. No betting system, strategy or pattern can change the mathematical edge in favour of the player. Always treat gambling as entertainment with a fixed entertainment budget.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Spending more money or time gambling than you intend to
Chasing losses by placing increasingly larger bets
Gambling to escape stress, anxiety or depression
Lying to family or friends about gambling activity or losses
Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
Neglecting work, family or social responsibilities due to gambling
Feeling restless or irritable when not gambling

Safer Gambling Tips

Set a strict budget before you start and stick to it
Set a time limit for each gambling session
Never chase losses
Take regular breaks
Do not gamble while affected by alcohol or drugs
Balance gambling with other hobbies and activities
Use deposit and loss limit tools offered by casinos
