Play with a plan

Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to solve money problems. Decide a time and spending limit before you play, and stop when that limit is reached. Never chase losses or borrow money to gamble.

Useful guardrails

• Set deposit, loss and session-time limits before playing.
• Take regular breaks and avoid gambling when stressed, tired or under the influence.
• Keep gambling separate from essential household money.
• Use operator cooling-off, self-exclusion and limit tools when needed.
