Responsible Gaming: Limits, Breaks & Financial Risk

Your money, time and wellbeing matter more than any game.

Know what is at risk

Money-based games can result in losing every stake. Fast rounds and occasional wins can encourage longer sessions, but neither past results nor a prediction group can promise future returns. Do not treat play as wages, savings or an investment.

Set boundaries before you start

• Use a fixed entertainment budget that you can lose without affecting essentials.
• Set a time limit and an amount you will not exceed.
• Keep borrowing, credit and emergency savings out of play.
• Avoid play while stressed, sleep deprived or affected by alcohol.

Recognise warning signs

Chasing losses, hiding spending, repeatedly raising limits or feeling unable to stop are reasons to pause. Missed bills, conflict at home and trouble concentrating can be signs that play is causing harm. You do not need to wait for a crisis to ask for help.

Reduce access and take a break

1. Stop deposits and remove saved payment methods where possible.
2. Use cooling-off, limits or self-exclusion if the operator actually provides them.
3. Unfollow promotional channels and remove apps that trigger repeated play.
4. Tell a trusted person and make a plan for bills and essential spending.
5. Consider a qualified mental health professional if urges persist.

Adults only and local restrictions

This guide is intended for adults. Age alone does not establish legal eligibility. Local restrictions and the type of game matter; seek current authoritative information before participating. Do not help a minor create or use a player account.
