Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online pokies should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it should be fun and within your means to afford. If you find yourself gambling to make money or recover losses, it's time to seek help.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do any of these apply to you? If so, you may be developing a gambling problem:

- Lying to friends, family, or others about how much you gamble
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Spending more time and money gambling than intended
- Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities to gamble
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
- Gambling increasing amounts to get the same excitement
If you recognise any of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.
