Responsible Gambling
At Queen of the Nile Pokies Guide we are committed to promoting safe gambling practices. Pokies are a form of entertainment. They should be enjoyed within set limits and never viewed as a means of making money or escaping problems.
Know the Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Be aware of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you care about:
- Spending more money or time gambling than intended
- Chasing losses – betting more in an attempt to win back what was lost
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
- Neglecting work, family or personal commitments due to gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable or restless when not gambling
- Gambling to cope with stress, loneliness or depression
How to Gamble Safely
Following these practical guidelines will help you keep gambling enjoyable:
- Set a budget before you start and never exceed it. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
- Set a time limit for each session. Take regular breaks and step away from the screen.
- Never chase losses. Accept that losing is a normal part of gambling. Walk away when you reach your limit.
- Use deposit and session limits offered by all licensed Australian online casinos.
- Self-exclude from a site or all sites using BetStop (Australia's national self-exclusion register).
- Avoid gambling when you are stressed, upset, under the influence of alcohol or in financial difficulty.
