Gamble for entertainment and keep control

Gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Every game result is uncertain, and previous results do not predict future outcomes. A win does not mean that another win is due, while a loss does not make a win more likely. Keeping this in mind can help you view gambling as a leisure activity rather than an opportunity to make money.

In this article

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose after your essential expenses have been paid. Your gambling budget should never come from rent, mortgage payments, bills, food, education, medical costs or money set aside for other important needs. Do not use credit, loans or money belonging to someone else to continue playing.

Before you start, decide how much time and money you are comfortable spending. A plan is most useful when it is made before playing, rather than while you are excited, frustrated or trying to recover a loss. Once your planned amount or time has been reached, stop and take a break, even if you feel that a win may be close.

Useful habits for safer play

Set a personal spending amount for gambling and keep it separate from money needed for everyday life.
Set a time limit and use a reminder so that playing does not take longer than planned.
Take regular breaks and make time for work, study, family, friends, exercise and other interests.
Keep a record of deposits, withdrawals, wins and losses so your gambling is based on facts rather than memory.
Avoid gambling when you are tired, upset, stressed, angry or affected by alcohol or other substances.
Do not chase losses by increasing your stakes or playing for longer than planned.
Never gamble to pay debts, replace income or deal with financial pressure.
Talk openly with someone you trust if you notice that gambling is becoming difficult to manage.

If gambling is no longer fun, or if you feel unable to stop, the safest choice is to stop playing and seek support. Asking for help early can make it easier to regain control.

Set limits and make informed decisions

Account and play-management tools may help you manage your gambling. Depending on the services available to you, these may include deposit limits, loss limits, session or time reminders, cooling-off periods, activity statements and account restrictions. Read the information provided with each tool carefully and choose settings that match your personal budget and circumstances.

A limit is intended to support a decision you have already made. It should not be treated as a target that must be reached. Consider setting a limit below the maximum amount you could technically spend, leaving room for unexpected expenses and changes in your financial situation. Review your settings from time to time, particularly after a change in income, employment, health or family circumstances.

A cooling-off period can provide time away from gambling without requiring a permanent decision. During this period, use the time to review your habits, speak with someone you trust and consider whether gambling fits comfortably within your life. If you know that you need a longer break, ask about the account restriction or self-exclusion options available through the service.

Important account responsibilities

Keep your account information accurate and up to date.
Protect your login details and do not allow another person to use your account.
Do not attempt to bypass account, location, age or activity restrictions.
Review your account activity and raise any concern as soon as you notice it.
Use only payment methods that belong to you and that you are authorised to use.
Read the applicable terms, privacy information and safer gambling guidance before playing.
Follow all age, identity, location and other legal requirements that apply to you.

Gambling services are intended for adults who are legally permitted to use them. Do not gamble if you are under the applicable legal age. Parents and guardians should take reasonable steps to prevent children from accessing gambling accounts, devices and payment methods.

Recognise when gambling may be causing harm

Problem gambling can develop gradually. It does not depend only on how often you play or how much you spend. Gambling may be becoming harmful when it affects your finances, relationships, work, study, physical health, mental health or ability to meet everyday responsibilities.

Warning signs to consider

Spending more time or money gambling than you originally intended.
Trying to win back money after a loss or feeling unable to stop during a session.
Increasing the amount you spend to get the same excitement.
Borrowing money, selling possessions or missing payments because of gambling.
Keeping gambling secret, hiding transactions or giving misleading information about your play.
Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when you try to reduce or stop gambling.
Thinking about gambling throughout the day or allowing it to interfere with work, study or family time.
Neglecting sleep, meals, health, relationships or other interests.
Using gambling to escape sadness, stress, loneliness, boredom or other difficult feelings.
Feeling guilt, shame, hopelessness or distress because of gambling.

One warning sign can be enough to justify taking a break and reviewing your behaviour. You do not need to wait for a major financial loss or serious personal crisis before asking for assistance. Consider telling a trusted person what is happening and ask them to help you follow your plan.

Practical steps if you are concerned

Stop gambling and avoid making further deposits while you consider your next step.
Use available account restrictions, a cooling-off option or self-exclusion process.
Remove saved payment details and reduce easy access to gambling websites and applications.
Review bank and account statements to understand the full position.
Speak with a trusted family member, friend, doctor, counsellor or qualified gambling support service.
Make a plan for essential bills and ask for financial counselling if debts or missed payments are involved.
Avoid trying to solve gambling-related financial problems by gambling again.
If gambling has affected your mental health or personal safety, seek urgent professional help.

Support is available even if you are helping someone else. Family members and friends can also experience stress, financial pressure and loss of trust when gambling causes harm. A qualified support service can provide advice about boundaries, communication, finances and safer ways to respond.

Taking a break, self-exclusion and finding support

If you want to stop gambling, contact the support team through the channels displayed on this website and ask about the account closure, restriction or self-exclusion options available to you. Explain clearly that you want a break or want to stop. Read the relevant process carefully, including any information about the period, accounts, products or services covered and what you need to do to keep the restriction in place.

Self-exclusion is a serious commitment to avoid gambling for an agreed period or under an applicable process. It is not a substitute for professional support, but it can create distance from gambling while you make other changes. Do not try to open another account, use another person's account or find ways around a restriction. If you are self-excluded, tell the support team if you believe you have been able to access gambling when you should not have been able to.

You can also seek independent assistance from a gambling support service available in your state or territory, a general practitioner, a psychologist, a counsellor, a financial counsellor or a trusted community organisation. These services may help you understand your gambling, create a practical plan, manage financial concerns and deal with stress or relationship issues. Choose a service that is appropriate for your circumstances and location.

When urgent help is needed

Gambling-related stress can feel overwhelming. If you feel unsafe, are thinking about harming yourself or someone else, or cannot manage an immediate personal crisis, contact emergency services or an urgent mental health service in your area. If you are concerned about another person, stay with them where it is safe to do so and encourage them to obtain professional help.

True Blue Casino aims to provide clear information and a responsible environment, but personal responsibility remains important. The safest gambling decision is the one that fits within your budget, your time and your wider wellbeing. If it does not, stop, use the available restrictions and seek support before playing again.
