What is Safer Gambling?

Safer Gambling is betting for fun and entertainment while remaining fully aware of the risks, exercising control and betting within your means so as not to cause harm to yourself or others.

The aim of Safer Gambling is to enable you to make informed decisions about your participation in gambling and, if harm has occurred, to provide access to gambling support services.

Things to remember with Safer Gambling:

Enjoy betting but be aware that gambling is a game of chance, and the final outcome is not in your control.

It’s important to consider the potential impact of gambling whilst under the influence of problematic substances. Despite what you may think at the time, they won’t help you pick a winner.

Be in control of your gambling. Proactively managing your finances, including having an awareness of your expenditure on gambling, is an important aspect of Safer Gambling.

Once you’ve lost a bet, move on. Chasing lost money is not a successful tactic. Gambling can be a part of your social life without dominating it. Safer Gambling is about ensuring gambling is a positive and enjoyable experience.
