Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

Online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. It's important to approach gaming with realistic expectations and to only wager what you can afford to lose.

At jcucareers.info, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting the wellbeing of our visitors.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following warning signs, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities or lying about the amount you gamble
• Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or essential expenses
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to cut back on gambling
• Neglecting family, work, or social commitments due to gambling
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
• Experiencing relationship problems related to gambling
• Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling

If you recognise these signs in yourself or someone you know, please reach out for support.

Self-Help Tools

Many gambling operators and platforms offer tools to help you manage your gaming responsibly:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount of losses you're willing to accept before stopping
• Reality Checks: Enable notifications that remind you how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Time Limits: Set a predetermined time period for your gaming sessions
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms when you need a break

We encourage you to use these tools to maintain control over your gaming activities.
