Responsible Gambling

At DragonLinkOnline.au, we are committed to promoting safe and responsible gambling. Online pokies such as Dragon Link are a form of entertainment — not a way to make money or solve financial problems. This page provides guidance, self-assessment tools, and links to support services for Australian players.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Gambling becomes a problem when it negatively impacts your finances, relationships, mental health, or work. Common warning signs include:

• Spending more time or money than you intended
• Chasing losses to try to recover money
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Hiding your gambling from family or friends
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
• Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities

Safe Gambling Practices

• Set a budget — only gamble with money you can afford to lose
• Set time limits — take regular breaks and stick to session time limits
• Never chase losses — accept that losses are part of the game
• Don't gamble when emotional — avoid gambling when stressed, depressed, or drunk
• Use responsible gambling tools — most licensed casinos offer deposit limits, session limits, and self-exclusion

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a break from online gambling, you can self-exclude from Australian licensed online casinos through the National Self-Exclusion Register or directly through individual casino operators. Most AU casinos offer self-exclusion periods ranging from 6 months to lifetime bans.

Gambling should always be fun. If it stops being enjoyable or starts causing harm, please reach out for help. 18+ only.
