Responsible Gambling

Melqoranta is an independent casino-industry publication and does not offer gambling services. If gambling is causing concern, contact Gambling Help Online Australia on 1800 858 858 for free and confidential support, available 24 hours a day.

If you are worried about your play, the most useful first steps are to pause, remove access to cash or cards, and talk to someone you trust. If you work in the industry and see a guest in distress, follow venue procedures and use the intervention tools available to you.

Support is most effective when it happens early. You do not need to wait for debt, family strain or work problems before asking for help.
