Responsible Gaming
Play for Fun, Within Limits
A session on the pokies should feel like a night out, not a job. Treat every deposit as the cost of entertainment, never as an investment.
- Fix the amount you can afford to lose before you log in.
- Keep sessions short and step away from the screen often.
- Accept a losing day instead of trying to win it back.
- Do not gamble when stressed, low or under the influence.
When to Pause
- You are playing longer or with more money than you meant to.
- You keep your gambling secret from people close to you.
- You borrow or sell things to keep playing.
- Gambling gets in the way of work, study or family life.
