Make room for the game without letting it take over. Gambling is for adults aged 18 and over.
Set your limits first
Choose a spending limit you can comfortably afford and a clear time to stop. Keep money for rent, bills, food and savings separate. Never borrow money to gamble.
Take regular breaks
Pause during a session and step away when you feel tired, frustrated or distracted. Avoid playing while affected by alcohol or other substances.
Keep outcomes in perspective
Every result is uncertain. Past results do not predict the next one, and gambling is not a way to earn an income. Never increase your spending to recover a loss.
Recognise when to pause
Spending more than planned, hiding your activity, losing sleep, or feeling unable to stop are reasons to take a break. Speak with someone you trust and consider support from a qualified professional.
Account tools and exclusion
Check your account service for spending limits, time reminders, cooling-off periods or self-exclusion. Availability varies by service. If you choose to exclude yourself, avoid creating another account to continue playing.
Keep access away from children
Do not share your account. Lock devices, keep credentials private and use parental controls on shared devices.
If gambling is affecting your finances, relationships or peace of mind, stop playing and ask for support.
