Responsible Gambling
Gambling at online casinos like Ozwin should always be a form of entertainment — never a way to make money or escape problems. We take responsible gambling seriously and have compiled this guide to help Australian players gamble safely.
Key Principles of Responsible Gambling
- Set a budget before you play — decide how much you can afford to lose and never exceed it
- Set time limits — decide in advance how long you'll play and stick to it
- Never chase losses — if you're losing, stop; chasing losses almost always makes things worse
- Don't gamble when emotional — never play when stressed, depressed, or under the influence of alcohol
- Treat it as entertainment — expect to lose; winnings are a bonus, not an expectation
- Take regular breaks — step away from the screen regularly during gaming sessions
Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Warning signs include:
- Spending more money or time on gambling than intended
- Gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
- Lying to family members about gambling activities or amounts spent
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down on gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or personal responsibilities
- Repeated failed attempts to control or stop gambling
