What Is Responsible Gaming?
Responsible gaming means playing games in a way that is safe, controlled, and within personal limits.

At Aristocrat, we encourage players to gamble responsibly and offer tools and resources to support this commitment.

Recognizing Signs of Problem Gambling
While gaming is intended to be enjoyable, it is important to be aware of behaviors that may indicate a gambling problem. These include:
- Chasing losses or betting more to recover money
- Neglecting personal or professional responsibilities due to gaming
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not playing
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Hiding gaming activity from friends or family
If you or someone you know exhibits any of these signs, we encourage seeking professional assistance immediately.
