Safeguarding from Gambling Harm

Gambling should be something that can be undertaken safely without creating problems for the person gambling, or their loved ones.

If you gamble or bet regularly here are a few things to consider so as to minimise the chance of harm

  • Choose a licensed operator.

  • Treat gambling and betting as an expense.

  • Avoid borrowing money to gamble.

  • Monitor your spend.

  • Think about why you gamble.

  • Don’t gamble when upset or stressed.

  • Limit the consumption of alcohol or drugs when gambling or betting.

  • Take breaks - operators do offer self-exclusion options to their customers in a retail and online setting.

  • Remember protections are in place to keep you safe.
