Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming means making deliberate decisions about when, how often and how much you gamble. It involves treating gambling as paid entertainment, setting limits before you start and accepting that losses are part of the activity. Gambling outcomes are uncertain, and no strategy, system or pattern can guarantee a win.

Gambling should not be used to pay bills, replace income, recover previous losses or solve financial problems. It should also not be used as a way to cope with stress, loneliness, anxiety, depression or other difficult feelings. If you are gambling for these reasons, taking a break and speaking with a suitable support service or health professional may help.

Before using an online gambling service, consider whether it is legal for you to do so in your location and whether you meet all applicable age and account requirements. You are responsible for following the laws that apply to you. Never allow another person to use your account, and do not gamble on behalf of someone else.

• Only gamble with money you can afford to lose after essential expenses have been paid.
• Set a time and spending limit before you begin.
• Take regular breaks and avoid gambling when tired, upset or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
• Keep gambling separate from everyday household spending.
• Do not chase losses or increase your stakes to try to recover money.
• Remember that past results do not predict future outcomes.
• Stop gambling if it is no longer enjoyable or is affecting your life.

Gambling harm can develop gradually, and a person may not notice the change immediately. It can affect finances, relationships, work, study, physical health and emotional wellbeing. You do not need to wait for a serious problem before asking for help. Early support can make it easier to regain control.

Possible warning signs include spending more money or time gambling than intended, thinking about gambling frequently, feeling restless when trying to stop, or repeatedly attempting and failing to cut back. Other signs can include hiding gambling activity, lying about losses, borrowing money, missing work or social commitments, or neglecting responsibilities.

You may also need support if you gamble to escape problems, feel distressed after gambling, chase losses, or continue despite harm to your relationships or finances. Concern from a partner, family member, friend or colleague should be taken seriously, even if you do not agree with their assessment.

• You gamble longer or spend more than you planned.
• You try to win back losses by increasing the amount or frequency of gambling.
• You feel anxious, irritable, guilty or secretive about gambling.
• You use money set aside for bills, savings or other important needs.
• You borrow money or use credit to continue gambling.
• You miss work, study, family time or other commitments.
• You argue with people close to you about gambling.
• You have difficulty stopping even when you want to stop.

If any of these signs apply, stop or reduce your gambling and seek help from a qualified gambling-support service, health professional or trusted person. If gambling has caused immediate financial or personal danger, focus first on your safety and contact an appropriate emergency or support service in your area.

Support is available from gambling-help organisations, counsellors, psychologists, general practitioners and other qualified health professionals. In Australia, you can look for a service that operates in your state or territory and offers confidential advice about gambling harm, financial stress and related issues. You may also speak with a trusted friend or family member who can help you take practical next steps.
