Chasing losses
Stop if you want to increase spending or borrow to recover losses. Protect essential money and speak with someone you trust.
Responsible entertainment: limits and breaks
Entertainment should not undermine everyday duties, relationships or essential spending. Set boundaries and know when to stop.
Keep entertainment separate from income plans
Uncertain outcomes cannot be treated as regular income. Keep essential spending separate. Decisions aimed at recovering losses can increase harm.
Set time boundaries in advance and take breaks before a problem forces one. Fatigue, anger and pressure impair judgement. Stop when daily responsibilities are affected.
These subjects are for adults. An age notice does not establish local permission. Follow applicable rules and keep accounts and money access away from minors.
Warning signs to take seriously
Pressure on time and relationships
Missed duties, concealment or discomfort during breaks deserve attention. Plan time away from entertainment access.
Needing support
Seek appropriate local health or counselling support if control is difficult. You do not have to manage it alone.
Support the decision to stop
Tell someone you trust, restrict easy money access and use break or limit controls where the relevant service provides them. Email [email protected] about this page’s wording; use appropriate local services for urgent or clinical support.
