Responsible Gambling
Gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a source of financial stress or emotional harm. This page provides resources and guidance to help Australian players gamble responsibly.
Signs of Problem Gambling
It may be time to seek help if you experience any of the following:
- Gambling with money needed for bills, rent, or food
- Chasing losses — betting more to try to win back what you've lost
- Lying to family or friends about your gambling activity
- Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling
- Gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
