Responsible Gambling
Pokies are entertainment, not income. Gambling is for adults aged 18 or over, and it should never be used to solve money problems.
Set limits first
- Decide a budget before you start and keep to it.
- Set a time limit and take regular breaks.
- Never chase losses or gamble with money needed for bills.
- Avoid gambling when tired, stressed or after drinking.
Warning signs
- Spending more than you planned.
- Hiding your gambling from family or friends.
- Borrowing money to play.
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you are not playing.
