Responsible Gambling
Gambling is a form of entertainment, but it carries real financial and psychological risks. This page provides information and resources to help Australian players gamble safely and seek help when needed.
Know the Signs of Problem Gambling
- Spending more money or time gambling than you intended
- Chasing losses — trying to win back money you've lost
- Lying to friends or family about how much you gamble
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling irritable, anxious, or depressed when not gambling
Self-Exclusion at Ignition Poker
Ignition Poker allows players to self-exclude voluntarily. Contact their 24/7 support via live chat and request an account restriction or closure. You can set a cooling-off period (days, weeks, or months) or request permanent self-exclusion.
Setting Limits
Before you begin playing, decide on a strict budget and stick to it. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never chase losses. Set a time limit for each session. Taking regular breaks helps you maintain perspective.
