Responsible Gambling
At bigbassdemo.com.au, we believe gambling should be a form of entertainment — not a way to make money or escape problems. We are committed to promoting safe and responsible gambling for all Australians.
Gambling Responsibly
Responsible gambling means making informed decisions about when, where, and how much you gamble. Here are some key principles to keep in mind:
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
- Set a time and money budget before you start — and stick to it
- Never chase your losses
- Gambling is not a reliable way to make money
- Balance gambling with other leisure activities
- Never gamble when you are upset, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol
- Take regular breaks during gaming sessions
Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling becomes a problem when it negatively affects your finances, relationships, work, or mental health. Warning signs include:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than planned
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Lying to family or friends about gambling habits
- Chasing losses in an attempt to win back money
- Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities because of gambling
- Gambling to escape problems or relieve negative feelings
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
