Responsible Gaming

Gamble for entertainment
Gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Every game outcome is uncertain, and past results do not predict future results. A win does not mean that another win is more likely, while a loss does not mean that a win is due. Avoid treating gambling as an investment or as a reliable source of income.
Before you play, consider whether gambling fits comfortably within your budget and your everyday responsibilities. Only use money that you can afford to lose after essential expenses have been paid. Never use money set aside for rent, bills, food, education, savings or other important commitments. Do not borrow money, sell possessions or use credit to continue gambling.
Helpful habits
- Decide how much time and money you are comfortable spending before you start.
- Keep gambling separate from household and essential spending.
- Take regular breaks and avoid playing when tired, upset, stressed or affected by alcohol or other substances.
- Treat losses as the cost of entertainment rather than an amount that must be recovered.
- Do not chase losses by increasing stakes, playing for longer or trying to win back money immediately.
- Avoid gambling to celebrate, escape problems, relieve boredom or change your mood.
- Review your gambling activity regularly and be honest about its effect on your finances and relationships.
If gambling stops feeling enjoyable or begins to affect your wellbeing, pause your play and consider using the account tools available to you. Speaking with someone you trust can also make it easier to take a balanced view of your gambling.
Use account controls
Account controls can help you manage your gambling before it becomes a concern. Depending on the features available to your account, you may be able to set financial or activity limits, take a temporary break or request that your account be closed. These tools are intended to support your choices, but they do not replace personal judgement or professional advice.
Consider setting limits in advance
- A deposit limit to control the amount added to your account.
- A spending or loss limit to help manage the amount used for gambling.
- A wagering or play limit to control the level of activity.
- A time limit or reminder to encourage regular breaks.
- A temporary account break when you want time away from gambling.
- Self-exclusion when you need a longer-term or stronger restriction.
Choose limits based on your personal circumstances, not on what you hope to win. A limit should be set before gambling and should remain affordable even if you lose the full amount. Some changes may not take effect immediately, and certain restrictions may not be reversible during a required period. Check the information shown in your account and contact support through the available website or account channels if you need help understanding an option.
Take a break or self-exclude
A break may be useful if you are gambling more often than intended, thinking about gambling throughout the day or finding it hard to stop. Self-exclusion is a more formal decision not to access gambling services for a selected period or until further review, where that option is available. If you choose self-exclusion, do not attempt to open another account or use another person’s account to continue gambling.
If you believe you need to stop gambling, close or restrict your account and remove easy access to gambling services. You may also wish to block gambling-related applications or websites, remove saved payment methods and ask a trusted person to support your decision.
Recognise signs of harm
Gambling harm can develop gradually. It may affect finances, work, study, health, relationships and emotional wellbeing. You do not need to wait for a serious crisis before seeking help. Early support can make it easier to regain control.
You may need to pause and seek support if you:
- Spend more time or money gambling than you planned.
- Increase your bets or deposits after losing money.
- Try to win back losses or feel unable to stop during a session.
- Hide gambling, your account activity or your financial situation from others.
- Borrow money, miss payments or use essential funds for gambling.
- Feel anxious, guilty, irritable or low because of gambling.
- Lose interest in work, study, family, friends or activities you previously enjoyed.
- Gamble to cope with stress, sadness, loneliness, anger or other difficult feelings.
- Have arguments or relationship problems connected with gambling.
- Think about gambling when you should be working, resting or meeting other responsibilities.
If any of these signs apply, stop gambling and consider speaking with a qualified gambling counsellor or health professional. You can also tell a trusted family member or friend what is happening and ask them to help you follow your limits. Support is available for people affected by their own gambling and for people concerned about someone else’s gambling.
If gambling has contributed to thoughts of self-harm, suicide or immediate danger, seek urgent assistance through the appropriate emergency or crisis service in your location. Your safety is more important than any gambling account, balance or loss.
Our approach to safer gambling
DraftKings Casino aims to provide clear information and tools that help players make informed decisions. We may provide account messages, reminders or other information about safer gambling. These communications are intended to encourage awareness and should not be treated as a substitute for setting personal limits.
We take account access and player information seriously. Account registration and use may be subject to age, identity, location and other eligibility checks. Do not allow another person to use your account, and keep your login details secure. If you believe that someone else has accessed your account, stop using it and report the concern through the available support channel.
Online gambling is intended for adults who meet the applicable legal requirements. Young people should not use a gambling account or be encouraged to gamble. Parents and guardians can help by keeping payment details and passwords private, using device controls where appropriate and discussing the risks of gambling in an age-appropriate way.
Getting help
If you are worried about your gambling, use the responsible gaming tools in your account and seek independent support. In Australia, gambling support services are available through relevant state and territory programs, counselling providers and health professionals. You can also speak with your doctor or another qualified practitioner about financial, emotional or relationship concerns linked to gambling.
When contacting support, explain what you have noticed, how gambling is affecting you and what you want to change. You can ask for help with making a plan, managing urges, addressing debt or discussing the impact on people close to you. You are not required to manage the situation alone.
For questions about the responsible gaming features available through DraftKings Casino, use the support options provided on the website or in your account. Please do not share your password or complete payment details when asking for assistance. Review the applicable terms and account information for further details about limits, breaks, self-exclusion and account access.
