Responsible Gambling
Extra Chilli Slot AU is committed to promoting responsible gambling. We believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment – never a source of financial stress or emotional harm. This page provides information, tools, and resources to help you gamble safely.
Know the Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Common warning signs include:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you intended.
- Chasing losses – gambling to try to win back money you have lost.
- Hiding your gambling activity from friends or family.
- Borrowing money, selling possessions, or struggling to pay bills because of gambling.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling.
- Gambling interfering with work, study, or personal relationships.
- Lying about how much time or money you spend gambling.

Self-Assessment
Ask yourself these questions honestly to assess whether gambling may be affecting you negatively:
- Do you gamble with money you need for bills, food, or other necessities?
- Have you ever lied to family or friends about your gambling?
- Do you feel a strong urge to gamble that is difficult to resist?
- Do you need to gamble with larger amounts of money to feel the same excitement?
- Have you tried to cut back or stop gambling but found it difficult?
- Has gambling caused arguments with people close to you?
If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, we encourage you to speak with a counsellor from Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858.
