Responsible gambling

Pokies and casino games should be entertainment, never a way to earn money or fix a problem. These steps keep play under control.

Before you play

• Decide a deposit budget you can afford to lose
• Set a time limit and stick to it
• Never chase losses
• Do not play when tired, upset or after drinking

Warning signs

• Spending more than planned
• Hiding play from family or friends
• Borrowing to gamble
• Feeling anxious when you are not playing

Bonuses

Bonuses carry wagering requirements. Read them in full. A bonus is never a reason to deposit more than your budget.
