Gambling should remain entertainment

Gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to predict or control the outcome of a game. Every bet is made with the possibility of losing money. Past results do not determine future results, and a run of losses does not make a win more likely. Treating gambling as entertainment can help keep expectations realistic and reduce the risk of gambling beyond your means.

Gambling should remain entertainment Tools and habits that can help you stay in control Recognising when gambling may be causing harm Self-exclusion, support and account protection

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose after essential costs have been covered. Essential costs may include housing, food, utilities, transport, education, existing debts and other regular commitments. Money set aside for these needs, as well as borrowed money, should never be used for gambling. It can also be helpful to decide on a gambling budget before you begin and to avoid changing that budget during play.

Set a clear spending limit before gambling and keep to it.
Set a time limit and take regular breaks away from the screen.
Avoid gambling when you are upset, tired, stressed or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
Do not chase losses by increasing your stakes or continuing for longer.
Do not borrow money, use credit intended for other purposes or sell belongings to fund gambling.
Remember that gambling outcomes are based on chance or the rules of the game, not skill alone.
Balance gambling with work, family, social activities, exercise and other interests.

It is important to comply with all age and account requirements that apply to online gambling in Australia. Gambling is not suitable for children or young people. Keep your account details private, do not allow other people to use your account and take steps to prevent underage access to gambling services.

Tools and habits that can help you stay in control

Planning your gambling in advance can make it easier to notice when your behaviour is changing. Before you start, decide how much time and money you are prepared to spend. Once either limit has been reached, stop for the day. Writing down your budget and checking your transactions can help you remain aware of the amount you have deposited, wagered and withdrawn.

Use available account controls

Depending on your account, the services available and applicable requirements, safer gambling controls may include deposit limits, loss limits, wagering limits, session reminders, time-outs or account closure. Review the responsible gambling or account settings available on the website before you play. If you are unsure how a control works, seek clarification through the available customer support channel before continuing.

A limit is most useful when it is set before gambling begins. Consider choosing an amount that fits comfortably within your entertainment budget rather than an amount based on what you hope to win. A limit should not be treated as a target or an invitation to spend more. If a control does not feel strong enough, consider taking a longer break or requesting that your account be closed.

Take regular breaks

Gambling for long periods can make it harder to keep track of time and spending. Stand up, move away from the device and do something unrelated to gambling. Avoid moving between websites or games simply to continue playing after you have reached your planned limit. Turning off notifications and removing saved payment details may also help reduce impulsive decisions.

Keep a personal record of gambling deposits, withdrawals, wins and losses.
Use the same budget discipline for online gambling as you would for any other entertainment expense.
Do not rely on a win to pay bills or restore money already lost.
Avoid gambling with money belonging to another person.
Ask someone you trust to help you stay accountable if you are finding it difficult to follow your plan.
Consider a temporary time-out or account closure if you need space from gambling.

No control is a substitute for making an informed decision about whether to gamble. If you find yourself repeatedly changing limits, hiding gambling activity or returning immediately after a break, this may be a sign that additional support is appropriate.

Recognising when gambling may be causing harm

Gambling harm can develop gradually. A person may continue gambling even when it affects their finances, relationships, work, studies, sleep or wellbeing. You do not need to wait for a serious problem before asking for help. Early support can make it easier to regain control.

Possible warning signs

Spending more time or money gambling than you intended.
Thinking about gambling for much of the day or feeling restless when you cannot gamble.
Increasing the amount or frequency of bets to achieve the same excitement.
Chasing losses or believing that a win is due after a losing period.
Gambling with money needed for rent, bills, food, travel or other necessities.
Borrowing money, using credit or selling possessions to continue gambling.
Keeping gambling secret, lying about it or becoming defensive when others ask questions.
Missing work, study, family commitments or social activities because of gambling.
Feeling anxious, guilty, irritable, depressed or unable to sleep because of gambling.
Trying to stop or cut back but returning to gambling shortly afterwards.
Using gambling to escape sadness, stress, loneliness or other difficult feelings.
Experiencing conflict with family, friends or colleagues because of gambling.

If any of these signs sound familiar, stop gambling and consider speaking with a qualified gambling support service. You can also speak with a trusted friend, family member, doctor, counsellor or financial counsellor. Support is available for people who gamble and for people affected by someone else’s gambling. Asking for help is a practical step, not a failure.

Steps to take now

Stop gambling and move away from the website or device.
Review your recent transactions and calculate the amount you can safely afford to lose.
Use an available time-out, limit or account closure option.
Tell someone you trust what is happening and ask them to support your plan.
Contact an Australian gambling support service or a qualified health professional.
Speak with a financial counsellor if gambling has affected bills, debts or other financial commitments.
If you feel unsafe or at risk of harming yourself, seek urgent help through local emergency or crisis services.

Self-exclusion, support and account protection

Self-exclusion is a stronger measure for people who want to prevent themselves from gambling for a defined period or longer. If you decide that self-exclusion is right for you, review the relevant option available through your account or contact the website’s support team using the channels provided on the site. You may be asked to provide information to confirm your request and protect your account.

During a self-exclusion or account closure period, do not create another account or use another person’s account to continue gambling. Ask people close to you not to lend you their account or payment method. If you believe you need a complete break, remove gambling applications, block access where possible and avoid websites or situations that encourage you to gamble.

Getting independent help

Independent support can help you understand your gambling, manage urges, address financial concerns and repair the effects on relationships. Australian players can look for gambling counselling and information through recognised Australian support services, health professionals and financial counselling organisations. These services may offer confidential guidance, practical strategies and support for family members or friends.

If you are supporting someone else, try to discuss the issue calmly and without judgement. Encourage them to seek professional help, but do not take responsibility for controlling their gambling alone. Protect shared finances, avoid covering up losses and seek advice about your own wellbeing and safety. If there is family violence, threats or immediate danger, prioritise safety and contact appropriate emergency or specialist services.

Keep your account secure

Use a strong, unique password and keep it confidential.
Do not share your login details, verification information or payment credentials.
Log out when using a shared device and keep devices protected with a passcode.
Check account activity and payment records regularly.
Notify the website through the available support channel if you suspect unauthorised access.
Do not allow another person to gamble through your account or ask you to gamble on their behalf.
Keep personal and financial information up to date where required for account security.

Grande Vegas Casino encourages every player to make careful decisions and to use the available safer gambling information before playing. If gambling no longer feels enjoyable, is affecting your life or is difficult to control, the safest choice may be to stop and seek support. You can review your account options at any time and take a break before deciding whether gambling is right for you.
