Responsible Gambling — Play Safely

Online gambling is a form of entertainment. For most players it remains exactly that — but for some, it can develop into a problem that affects finances, relationships and mental health. This page provides guidance and resources to help you stay in control.

Recognise the Warning Signs

Common warning signs of problem gambling include spending more money or time than intended; chasing losses by increasing stakes; gambling with money needed for essentials; lying to family or friends; feeling anxious or depressed when not gambling; or gambling to escape problems.
