Betting Responsibly
Simple habits that help keep betting in its proper place.
Set a Budget
Only ever bet with money you can genuinely afford to lose. Set a fixed bankroll and stick to it — never dip into savings, rent, or money earmarked for essentials.
Set Time Limits
Decide in advance how much time you will spend on betting activity each week. Use phone alarms or app timers to keep yourself accountable.
Never Chase Losses
Increasing stakes to recover losses is one of the most common warning signs of problem gambling. Accept that losses are part of the process and stick to your plan.
Don’t Bet Under Pressure
Never bet when you are stressed, upset, intoxicated, or emotionally compromised. Good decision-making requires a clear head.
Take Regular Breaks
Step away from betting activity regularly — daily, weekly, and monthly. Time away from betting helps maintain perspective and prevents compulsive behaviour.
Keep It in Perspective
Betting should be an informed, disciplined activity — not an emotional outlet or a way to solve financial problems. Results vary and all betting involves risk.
Talk to Someone
If betting is affecting your relationships, finances, or mental health, talk to someone you trust. You don’t have to deal with it alone.
Use Self-Exclusion Tools
Australian bookmakers are required to offer self-exclusion options. BetStop — the National Self-Exclusion Register — lets you self-exclude from all licensed Australian wagering services at once.
Warning Signs
Recognising a problem early makes it much easier to address.
You may need support if you are:
- ›Betting more than you can afford to lose
- ›Feeling anxious or irritable when not betting
- ›Hiding betting activity from family or friends
- ›Borrowing money to fund betting
- ›Consistently chasing losses with bigger stakes
- ›Neglecting work, study, or relationships due to betting
- ›Feeling unable to stop or reduce betting
- ›Using betting to escape stress or difficult emotions
- ›Lying about how much time or money you spend betting
- ›Prioritising betting over food, bills, or essential expenses
If any of these apply to you, please reach out to one of the support services below. Help is free, confidential, and available right now.
