Responsible gambling occurs in an environment where the potential for harm associated with gambling is minimised and people make informed decisions about their participation in gambling.

Burswood Entertainment Complex recognises that what is a fun activity for the majority can become a problem for a small proportion of people. Consequently, to help reduce the harmful impacts of problem gambling we have established policies and guidelines related to responsible gambling, including:

• Problem gambling
• Underage gambling
• Responsible marketing and advertising
• Unattended children
• Responsible service of alcohol

The Responsible Gambler

A responsible gambler is a person who:

• Is in control of their gambling
• Sees gambling as entertainment, not a job
• Doesn't take gambling too seriously
• Only gambles with money set aside for entertainment, never with the money for rent or food
• Never borrows money to gamble, either from friends, money set aside for other things or credit cards
• Sets limits on the amount and money they will spend
• Sticks to these limits and walks away when they are reached
• Recognises that you can't win in the long run and doesn't try to chase a win
• Is relaxed and sociable
• Is aware of family and friends
• Is happy to take frequent breaks.
