Responsible Gambling

Last updated: Fair Go Reviews Team

At Fair Go Reviews, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling. Online gambling can be entertaining when done responsibly, but it carries real risks. This page provides important information for Australian players.

The Fundamentals of Responsible Gambling

  • Only gamble with money you can afford to lose — treat it as entertainment, not income.
  • Set strict time and money limits before you start, and stick to them.
  • Never chase losses — accept that losing is a normal part of gambling.
  • Do not gamble when you are upset, stressed, intoxicated, or under pressure.
  • Take regular breaks and do not gamble for extended periods.
  • Balance gambling with other hobbies and social activities.
  • Understand the games you play — the house always has an edge in the long run.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

You may have a problem with gambling if you experience any of the following:

  • Spending more money or time gambling than you intend
  • Thinking about gambling constantly or feeling restless when not gambling
  • Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
  • Chasing losses or borrowing money to gamble
  • Lying to family or friends about gambling activity or debts
  • Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities because of gambling
  • Feeling guilt, shame, or anxiety after gambling sessions
