Safer play
Responsible gambling at WinAUD
Practical steps for keeping gambling recreational and knowing when to stop.
Keep gambling within limits
Gambling should be treated as paid entertainment, not as a way to make money. Set a spending limit and a time limit before you start, and stop when either limit is reached.
Safer-play checklist
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
- Do not chase losses or increase stakes to recover money.
- Take regular breaks and avoid gambling when stressed or under the influence.
- Keep track of deposits, withdrawals and total spend.
- Use available account limits or self-exclusion tools if control is becoming difficult.
When to seek help
If gambling is affecting finances, sleep, relationships or work, stop and seek support. In Australia, Gambling Help Online can be reached on 1800 858 858. If you are elsewhere, use a recognised support service in your jurisdiction.
