Responsible Gambling
Keeping a night out in perspective, and where to get help.
1. Our position
Gamevora writes about a venue that includes a casino. We want readers to treat gambling as entertainment that costs money, never as a way to earn it.
2. Age limit
You must be 18 or over to enter a casino in Queensland and to use this site.
3. Set a budget
Decide what you can afford to lose before you start, and keep to it, whatever happens.
4. Set a time limit
Choose how long you will play, and take regular breaks away from the floor.
5. Never chase losses
Trying to win back money you have lost usually leads to larger losses.
6. Do not gamble to cope
Avoid gambling when you are upset, stressed, lonely or under the influence of alcohol.
7. Know the odds
Casino games are designed so that the house wins over time. There is no system that changes this.
8. Keep a balance
Make sure gambling does not crowd out work, family, friends or sleep.
9. Warning signs
- Spending more than you planned
- Borrowing money to gamble
- Hiding gambling from people close to you
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you are not gambling
10. Where to get help
Gambling Help Online offers free, confidential support at any hour on 1800 858 858 and at gamblinghelponline.org.au. In an emergency, call 000.
11. Support for others
If someone close to you gambles, support services also help family and friends. You do not have to deal with it alone.
12. Breaks and exclusion
Venues can explain how to take a break or request exclusion. Ask venue staff for details.
13. Parental control
Keep gambling content away from minors and use device filters where children share a computer.
