Responsible Gambling
At WheresgoldSlots.com.au, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling. Online gambling should always be entertaining – never a source of financial stress or emotional harm. This page provides important information and resources to help you stay in control.
Responsible Gambling Principles
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
- Set a budget before you play and stick to it.
- Never chase losses – accept them as the cost of entertainment.
- Do not gamble when you are upset, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol.
- Take regular breaks and set time limits for your sessions.
- Keep gambling in balance with other activities in your life.
- Never borrow money to gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Watch for these warning signs in yourself or someone you care about:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended.
- Gambling to escape from problems or negative emotions.
- Lying to family or friends about gambling habits.
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling.
- Chasing losses or feeling the need to bet more to get the same excitement.
- Borrowing money or selling belongings to fund gambling.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling.
