01Our Commitment
Raceday Punting is committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. While we facilitate betting account partnerships, we recognise the potential risks associated with gambling and take our duty of care seriously. We encourage all partners to gamble responsibly and within their means.
02Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognising the signs of problem gambling is the first step to getting help. Warning signs may include:
- Spending more money or time on gambling than you can afford.
- Chasing losses or gambling to recover money previously lost.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
- Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling.
- Feeling anxious, stressed, or depressed about gambling activities.
- Lying to family or friends about the extent of your gambling.
- Gambling to escape problems or relieve feelings of helplessness.
03Tips for Responsible Gambling
- Set Limits: Decide on a budget before you start and stick to it.
- Set Time Limits: Limit the amount of time you spend gambling.
- Don't Chase Losses: Accept that losing is part of gambling; never try to win back lost money.
- Take Breaks: Regular breaks help maintain perspective and control.
- Don't Gamble When Upset: Avoid gambling when you're stressed, depressed, or emotional.
- Balance Gambling: Ensure gambling doesn't interfere with work, family, or other activities.
