Responsible Gambling
We believe gambling should always be entertaining, never stressful or harmful. This page provides tools, resources, and support contacts for Australian players.
Signs That Gambling May Be a Problem
Chasing Losses
Increasing bets or continuing to gamble to try to win back money you've lost. This rarely works and usually leads to larger losses.
Gambling Longer Than Planned
Repeatedly playing beyond the time or money you intended to spend, or losing track of time while gambling.
Ignoring Responsibilities
Neglecting work, family, or financial obligations because of gambling. Borrowing money to gamble is a serious warning sign.
Hiding Gambling Activity
Feeling the need to conceal how much you gamble or how much money you've spent from people close to you.
Irritability When Not Gambling
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut down on or stop gambling — this can be a sign of dependency.
Gambling to Escape Problems
Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, depression, anxiety, or personal problems rather than as entertainment.

Please Gamble Responsibly
Gambling should be an enjoyable leisure activity, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. Always set a budget before you play, never chase losses, and take regular breaks. If you feel gambling is becoming a problem, use our self-exclusion tool or contact the Gambling Help Hotline immediately.
