Responsible Gaming
Pokies Big Red is committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Gambling should be an enjoyable recreational activity – not a way to make money or escape personal problems. If you or someone you know may have a gambling problem, please read this page carefully.
Signs of Problem Gambling
- Spending more time or money gambling than you intend to
- Gambling to recover money you have lost ("chasing losses")
- Hiding gambling activity from friends or family
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, study or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable or depressed when not gambling
Tips for Safer Gambling
- Set a strict budget before you start and never exceed it
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
- Never gamble under the influence of alcohol or when emotionally stressed
- Take regular breaks and set time limits for each session
- Use the deposit and session limit tools offered by your casino
- Consider self-exclusion if you feel gambling is becoming a problem
