Tips for Responsible Play

1

Set a budget

Decide how much you can afford to spend before you visit. Stick to it.

2

Set a time limit

Know when to leave. Treat gaming as one part of your visit, not the main event.

3

Never chase losses

If you've lost your budget, stop. Chasing losses often leads to bigger problems.

4

Balance with other activities

Enjoy the food, the atmosphere, the company. Make gaming a small part of the experience.


Self-Exclusion

If you need to take a break from gaming, many venues in Australia offer self-exclusion programs. You can also register with state-based exclusion schemes. Contact Gambling Help Online for guidance on the options available in your state or territory.
