Responsible Gambling | QuickPayAU

## Responsible gambling Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to make money or solve financial problems. Set a budget before you play, decide a time limit and stop when either limit is reached. Do not chase losses, borrow to gamble, gamble when distressed, or combine gambling with alcohol or drugs. Keep deposits affordable and take regular breaks. Use an operator’s deposit, loss, session and cooling-off controls. Self-exclusion can prevent access for a chosen period; contact the operator for its process. Blocking software and bank gambling blocks may provide another layer of protection. Ask a trusted person to help if sticking to limits is difficult. Warning signs include hiding gambling, repeatedly increasing stakes, feeling restless when trying to stop, missing bills or work, and gambling to recover losses. These are reasons to pause and seek confidential help. Gambling Help Online provides free 24/7 information, chat and counselling at Gambling Help Online.
