Responsible Gambling
Gambling is a form of entertainment. For the vast majority of people it remains that way. However, for some individuals gambling can become harmful. This page provides guidance and resources to help you stay in control.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Warning signs that gambling may be becoming a problem include:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you intended
- Chasing losses (gambling more to try to win back money you have lost)
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling-related debts
- Gambling affecting your relationships, work or mental health
- Feeling anxious, restless or irritable when not gambling
- Lying to friends or family about your gambling activity
Tools for Safer Play
Responsible operators offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly or monthly deposit caps
- Loss limits: Stop play automatically when you reach a loss threshold
- Session time limits: Limit how long you can play in a single session
- Reality checks: Pop-up reminders showing how long you have been playing
- Self-exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from one or all online casinos
- Cool-off periods: Temporary pauses from gambling (24h, 72h, 1 week, 1 month)
