Responsible Gambling

Gambling is a form of entertainment. For most people, it remains just that. However, for some individuals, gambling can become a problem that affects their health, finances, relationships, and wellbeing. This page provides important information about responsible gambling, how to recognise problem gambling, and where to get help in Australia.

Play Responsibly

Responsible gambling means staying in control of your gambling activities and treating it as a leisure activity rather than a source of income. Consider the following principles:

  • Set a budget. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never chase losses.
  • Set a time limit. Decide in advance how long you will play and stick to it.
  • Keep it fun. Gambling should be entertaining, not stressful or financially damaging.
  • Stay informed. Understand that all casino games have a house edge and the odds always favour the casino in the long run.
  • Avoid gambling when distressed. Do not gamble as a way to cope with emotional problems, anxiety, or depression.
  • Balance gambling with other activities. Ensure gambling does not interfere with work, family, or social life.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Common warning signs include:

  • Spending more time or money gambling than intended.
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling.
  • Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or colleagues.
  • Chasing losses – betting more to try to win back money already lost.
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
  • Neglecting work, school, family, or other responsibilities because of gambling.
  • Using gambling as a way to escape problems or relieve negative feelings.
  • Continuing to gamble despite wanting to stop or cut back.

Self-Exclusion Tools

If you feel that your gambling is becoming problematic, most licensed online casinos offer self-exclusion tools that allow you to:

  • Set deposit, wagering, loss, and session time limits.
  • Take a cooling-off break from gambling for a set period.
  • Self-exclude permanently from a platform.

If you wish to self-exclude from LevelUp Casino, log into your account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming settings, or contact their support team directly via live chat or email.
