Set limits before playing
- Choose a time and spending limit in advance.
- Never gamble with rent, bills, food or borrowed money.
- Do not chase a loss with larger or repeated bets.
- Take breaks and track total spending.
Warning signs
Hiding play, borrowing, missing obligations, feeling unable to stop, or gambling to escape distress are reasons to pause and seek help.
Get appropriate help
If gambling is causing harm, stop access, speak with someone you trust, and contact a qualified local health or counselling service. In an immediate crisis, use your local emergency service.
