Responsible Gaming

Responsible Gambling at Bundoora Pokies

Safe and Balanced Habits

At Bundoora Pokies, we promote safe and balanced gaming habits to ensure that our players enjoy their time with us while maintaining control over their spending.

Set a budget: Decide on a maximum amount you're willing to spend and stick to it.
Choose the right games: Opt for games that suit your skills and bankroll.
Don't chase losses: Avoid trying to recoup losses by betting more than you can afford.

Entertainment, Not Income

Gambling should be viewed as a form of entertainment rather than a means to generate income. Be honest with yourself about why you're playing and set realistic expectations.

Treat it like an expense: View your gaming budget as a regular expense.
Don't rely on wins: Don't expect to win consistently or make a living from gaming.

Budget Management

Manage your bankroll effectively to avoid financial difficulties. Consider setting aside dedicated funds for gaming and allocate them wisely.

Dedicate a fund: Set aside money specifically for gaming, avoiding dipping into essential funds.
Use the 50/30/20 rule: Allocate 50% of your income towards necessities, 30% for discretionary spending, and 20% for savings and entertainment (including gaming).

Limits: Deposits, Losses, Wagers, & Sessions

Set limits to maintain control over your gaming experience. Take advantage of our built-in tools to help you stay within your means.

Deposit limits: Set a daily/weekly/monthly deposit limit to avoid overspending.
Loss limits: Establish maximum loss thresholds to prevent significant financial impact.
Wager limits: Limit the amount you wager on individual bets or games.
