Responsible Gambling
Think! About your choices. Gamble Responsibly.
If gambling is causing problems in your life, help is available.
Our Commitment
Evermere Escape is committed to promoting responsible gambling and providing a safe, enjoyable lottery experience for all Australian players. We recognize that while most people gamble responsibly, some may develop problems that require support and intervention.
Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Watch for these warning signs:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you can afford
- Chasing losses with bigger bets
- Lying to family or friends about gambling activities
- Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not gambling
- Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities
- Borrowing money to gamble
- Feeling like you need to gamble to solve financial problems
Setting Limits
Responsible gambling starts with setting limits before you play:
- Time Limits: Decide how much time you'll spend on lottery activities
- Money Limits: Set a budget you can afford to lose
- Frequency Limits: Determine how often you'll participate in draws
- Loss Limits: Never chase losses or bet money you can't afford
Remember: Lottery games are entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems.
