Responsible Gaming
At Dog House Megaways AU, we believe gambling should be an entertaining pastime — never a financial solution or emotional escape. We are committed to promoting safe and responsible play.
The Golden Rules
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Treat it as entertainment, not income.
- Set a budget before you play and stick to it, regardless of outcome.
- Set a time limit — it's easy to lose track of time when playing.
- Never chase losses. Chasing losses is one of the most common paths to problem gambling.
- Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen every 30–60 minutes.
- Do not play under the influence of alcohol or substances.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling may be becoming a problem if you:
- Spend more than you can afford on gambling
- Borrow money to fund gambling sessions
- Feel anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Lie to friends or family about how much you gamble
- Neglect work, family, or health due to gambling
- Use gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
Tools to Stay in Control
All licensed Australian online casinos offer responsible gambling tools including:
- Deposit limits — set daily, weekly, or monthly caps
- Session time limits — automatic reminders or logouts
- Reality checks — notifications of time and spend during a session
- Self-exclusion — voluntarily block access to your account
