Responsible Gambling

Online casinos and pokies are entertainment, not a way to make money. Every game has a built-in house edge, so over time the casino wins. Only play with money you can afford to lose, and you must be 18 or older.

Staying in control

  • Set a budget before you play and stop when it's gone. Never chase losses.
  • Set a time limit, and take regular breaks.
  • Don't gamble when you're stressed, upset or have been drinking.
  • Never borrow money to gamble.
  • Use the tools in your casino account. Many casinos offer deposit limits, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion; if you can't find them, ask the casino's support team.

Warning signs

It may be time to get help if you spend more than you planned, gamble to win back losses, hide your gambling from people close to you, or feel anxious or low when you're not playing.
