5. Responsible Gambling
Gambling can be addictive and harmful. Please gamble responsibly.
Racing Life is committed to promoting responsible gambling. We recognise that for some people, gambling can become a serious problem affecting their financial wellbeing, relationships, and mental health.
Key Principles of Responsible Gambling
- Set a budget: Only bet what you can afford to lose. Never chase losses.
- Set time limits: Decide in advance how long you will spend gambling.
- Treat it as entertainment: Gambling should be fun, not a way to make money.
- Avoid gambling when emotional: Don't bet when stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol.
- Take breaks: Regular breaks help maintain perspective.
- Know the odds: The house always has an edge. Understand that losses are the norm over time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
- Spending more than you can afford on gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Lying to friends or family about your gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
- Gambling to escape problems or relieve negative feelings
- Unable to stop or reduce your gambling despite wanting to
If any of these signs apply to you or someone you know, please seek help immediately. Free, confidential support is available.
