Gamble for entertainment
Gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Casino games are based on chance or other game mechanics, and outcomes cannot be predicted or controlled by a player. A previous win does not make another win more likely, and a previous loss does not mean that a win is due. Each game result is separate.
Before you play, decide how much time and money you are comfortable spending. Treat this amount as an entertainment cost, similar to spending on a meal, a film or another leisure activity. Only gamble with money that you can afford to lose after essential expenses and financial commitments have been met. Never use money set aside for rent, bills, groceries, education, savings or other important needs.
A sensible approach is to set a personal budget before starting a session and stop when that budget has been reached. Avoid increasing your budget during play because of excitement, frustration or the hope of recovering losses. Taking regular breaks can also help you remain aware of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
Helpful principles
- Gamble only when you are in a clear and settled state of mind.
- Set a spending limit and a time limit before each session.
- Keep gambling separate from essential household spending.
- Do not borrow money or use credit to gamble.
- Do not chase losses by increasing stakes or playing for longer.
- Take breaks and maintain other interests, activities and relationships.
- Remember that gambling is not a reliable source of income.
- Avoid gambling when affected by alcohol, drugs, strong emotions or significant stress.
Recognising possible gambling harm
Gambling harm can affect finances, relationships, work, study, physical health and emotional wellbeing. It can develop gradually, and a person may not notice the change at first. Being honest about your gambling habits is an important step towards keeping them under control.
Consider whether any of the following signs apply to you. One sign does not automatically mean that you have a gambling problem, but several signs may indicate that it is time to take a break and seek independent support.
- You spend more time or money gambling than you originally planned.
- You feel restless, irritated or preoccupied when you are not gambling.
- You regularly think about how to find money for gambling or recover losses.
- You gamble with money intended for bills, living costs or other commitments.
- You borrow money, sell belongings or hide transactions to continue gambling.
- You try to stop or cut back but find it difficult to do so.
- You return to gambling soon after a loss to try to win the money back.
- You keep your gambling secret from family, friends or other people you trust.
- Gambling causes arguments, relationship difficulties or problems at work or study.
- You feel guilt, anxiety, low mood or distress connected with your gambling.
- You neglect sleep, meals, responsibilities or other activities because of gambling.
If gambling is causing harm, stopping or reducing your gambling is more important than trying to recover money. Further gambling can increase financial and emotional pressure. Speak with someone you trust and consider contacting an appropriate professional support service in Australia for confidential advice. If you feel unsafe or are in immediate danger, seek urgent help from local emergency services or a qualified health professional.
Tools to help you stay in control
Planning your gambling in advance can make it easier to stay within your limits. Playmax Casino may provide account and safer-gambling features that can help you monitor or restrict your activity. The availability, operation and conditions of these features may vary, so review the information shown in your account and the applicable terms before using them.
Personal limits
Where available, use deposit, spending, loss or time limits to create boundaries for your account. Choose limits that reflect your actual budget rather than an amount you hope to win. A limit should not be treated as a target or a reason to gamble up to the maximum. If a limit is reached, accept the boundary and stop rather than looking for ways around it.
Breaks and self-exclusion
If you need time away from gambling, consider using any available temporary break or account restriction option. For a longer period, self-exclusion may be appropriate. Self-exclusion is a voluntary arrangement intended to prevent or restrict access to gambling for a chosen period or under applicable account procedures. Read the relevant information carefully before requesting it, as restrictions may apply during the selected period and may not be reversible immediately.
Practical steps outside your account
- Write down your gambling budget and review it regularly.
- Keep records of deposits, withdrawals, wins and losses so that your spending is clear.
- Remove saved payment details where possible if they make unplanned deposits easier.
- Ask a trusted person to help you monitor your budget or support a break.
- Avoid gambling websites and applications when you are feeling stressed, upset or tempted to chase losses.
- Use financial counselling or budgeting support if gambling has affected your finances.
- Seek professional help if you have repeatedly tried to reduce gambling without success.
Age, account safety and support
Gambling is only for people who meet the applicable minimum legal age. Do not allow anyone under the legal age to access, use or play through your account. Keep your login details private, use appropriate security settings and log out when your device is shared with another person. You are responsible for taking reasonable steps to prevent unauthorised access to your account.
Parents, guardians and carers can use device controls, payment controls and other available technology to reduce the possibility of access by minors. No technical measure is a complete substitute for supervision, so keep gambling accounts and related devices away from children and young people.
If you are concerned about your own gambling, you do not need to wait until a serious problem develops before asking for help. A general practitioner, qualified counsellor, financial counsellor or recognised gambling support organisation can help you understand your options. Support may also be available for family members and friends who are affected by another person's gambling.
When asking for assistance, explain what has been happening and what you would like to change. You may wish to discuss your gambling frequency, spending, debts, urges, mood and any effect on relationships or daily responsibilities. Keeping a simple record of these matters can help a support professional provide relevant guidance.
Our approach
Playmax Casino supports informed choices and encourages players to use available safer-gambling tools. We may take steps in line with applicable requirements, account procedures and our terms when activity raises responsible-gaming concerns. We may also ask for information to help protect an account or assess whether continued access is appropriate. These measures are intended to support safer gambling and do not guarantee that gambling-related harm will be prevented.
If you believe gambling is no longer enjoyable or manageable, stop playing and use the available account restriction options. Review the relevant account information, terms and privacy information before submitting a request. Responsible gambling is a shared effort, and seeking help early can make it easier to regain control.
