Responsible Gambling
At WheresgoldSlots.au, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling. We believe that gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems.
The Golden Rules of Responsible Pokies Play
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
- Set a time and money budget before you start and stick to it.
- Never chase losses — this leads to bigger losses.
- Do not gamble when you are upset, stressed or under the influence of alcohol.
- Take regular breaks and avoid extended sessions.
- Balance gambling with other leisure activities.
- Never borrow money to gamble.
Know the Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Warning signs include:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you intended.
- Feeling anxious, irritable or restless when not gambling.
- Hiding your gambling from family or friends.
- Gambling to escape worries or relieve feelings of helplessness.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
- Neglecting work, study, family or personal responsibilities due to gambling.
Self-Exclusion and Limit Tools
All reputable Australian online casinos offer responsible gambling tools, including deposit limits, session time reminders, loss limits and self-exclusion options. We encourage all players to use these features proactively.
The national self-exclusion register, GAMSTOP, allows you to restrict access to all participating online gambling sites from one place.
