Responsible Gambling
We are committed to promoting safe and responsible gambling. Playing pokies and casino games should be enjoyable entertainment, not a source of financial or emotional distress.
Know the Facts
- The outcome of every spin is determined by a Random Number Generator (RNG) — results are completely random and cannot be predicted.
- Past spins have no influence on future outcomes. There is no such thing as a "due" win.
- The house always maintains a mathematical edge over the long term.
- Gambling should never be used as a way to earn money or to solve financial problems.
Signs of Problem Gambling
You may have a gambling problem if you:
- Spend more money or time gambling than you intended
- Feel anxious, irritable or restless when not gambling
- Lie to family or friends about your gambling
- Chase losses by continuing to gamble after losing
- Neglect work, family or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling
Tips for Responsible Play
- Set a strict budget before you start and never exceed it
- Set a time limit for each gambling session
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
- Never gamble when you are emotionally distressed, tired or under the influence of alcohol
- Take regular breaks
- Use deposit limit, session limit and self-exclusion tools offered by online casinos
