Responsible Gaming: Set Limits and Recognise Warning Signs
Learn practical ways to set time and spending boundaries, avoid chasing losses and seek support when gaming feels difficult to control.
Gaming should remain an optional form of entertainment and should never take priority over health, relationships or essential expenses.
Decide in advance how much time and money, if any, you can comfortably spend. Treat any spending as an entertainment cost, not as a way to earn income or solve financial problems.
Set clear boundaries
Choose limits before you begin and stop when they are reached. Do not use money needed for rent, food, bills or other essentials.
Do not chase losses
A loss does not mean a win is due. Increasing stakes to recover losses can make a difficult situation worse.
Recognise warning signs
Hiding activity, borrowing to continue, neglecting responsibilities or feeling unable to stop can be signs to take a break and seek help from someone you trust or a qualified local service.
