Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be fun — we're here to help keep it that way

At Bonus.Academy, we believe that gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment — nothing more. We are committed to promoting responsible gambling and providing resources to help those who may be experiencing difficulties.

Principles of Responsible Gambling

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
Set time and money limits before you start
Never chase your losses
Don't gamble when upset, stressed, or under the influence
Take regular breaks and don't let gambling dominate your life
Treat gambling as entertainment, not income
Keep track of how much time and money you spend
Never borrow money to gamble

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

  • Spending more money or time gambling than you can afford
  • Chasing losses by gambling more to win back what you've lost
  • Gambling interfering with work, relationships, or daily life
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
  • Lying to family or friends about your gambling habits
  • Using gambling as a way to escape problems or negative feelings
  • Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
