Knowing the odds is simply the best way to keep gambling in perspective.
Even if you only have a flutter from time to time, it’s important to know how gambling works so you have realistic expectations about your chances of winning.
Balance and Control
Balance and Control is the key to making sure that having a bet remains an enjoyable pastime.
Gambling should be seen as just another form of entertainment in a balanced lifestyle. Budget for gambling as you would going out to dinner or buying a movie ticket.
Responsible Gambling Awareness Week
RGAW aims to remind the community if you choose to gamble, don’t let it get out of control.
Held in May each year, the week encourages Victorians who gamble not to let gambling control their lives and to approach gambling as a purely recreational activity.
