Responsible Gaming
Last updated:
We are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming. Gambling can be an enjoyable form of entertainment for most people, but for a small number it can become a problem. This page provides important information and resources to help you gamble responsibly.
Key Principles of Responsible Gaming
- Set a budget: Before you play, decide how much money you can afford to lose and stick to it. Never gamble with money intended for bills, rent, food, or other necessities.
- Set time limits: Decide in advance how long you will play and use alarms or timers to keep track.
- Never chase losses: If you lose your session budget, stop. Chasing losses almost always leads to bigger losses.
- Take regular breaks: Step away from the screen regularly to maintain perspective.
- Do not gamble under the influence: Avoid playing when tired, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Keep gambling separate from your social life: Gambling should not replace social activities, work, or family time.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect people of any age, gender, or background. Common warning signs include:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you intended
- Feeling anxious, irritable or restless when trying to cut down
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Hiding your gambling from family or friends
- Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities
- Gambling to escape problems or relieve negative feelings
