Support is available
Gambling should be treated as paid entertainment, not as a way to make money. Every gambling product carries financial risk and no venue, machine, promotion or strategy can guarantee a win. If gambling is no longer enjoyable, feels difficult to control, or is affecting money, relationships, work or wellbeing, stop and seek support.

Practical limits
Decide a fixed entertainment budget before leaving home, keep essential money separate, do not chase losses, and plan a firm departure time. Alcohol can affect judgement. Consider choosing a venue visit that is centred on food, company or an event rather than gambling.
