Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to make money or solve money problems. This page lists practical habits and support services.
Australian restrictions
Under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, providing online casino games to people in Australia is restricted, and the Australian Communications and Media Authority acts against illegal offshore services. This website is information only. It is your responsibility to understand the law that applies to you. Nothing here encourages you to break it.
Set limits before you play
- Decide a budget you can afford to lose and keep to it.
- Set a time limit and take regular breaks.
- Never chase losses or gamble with borrowed money.
- Do not play when you are tired, upset or under the influence of alcohol.
Warning signs
- Spending more time or money than you planned.
- Hiding gambling from family or friends.
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you stop.
- Missing work, study or bills because of gambling.
