Responsible Gambling at Wrest Point

We recognise that while most people gamble responsibly, some individuals may experience difficulties. We take our responsibility seriously and offer a range of support services and resources to promote responsible gambling practices.

Our Commitment

As part of the Federal Group, Wrest Point operates under the Tasmanian Responsible Gambling Mandatory Code of Practice. We are dedicated to minimising the potential harm associated with gambling and ensuring our guests can make informed decisions.

Signs That Gambling May Be a Problem

It is important to recognise when gambling stops being entertainment. Some warning signs include:

• Spending more money or time on gambling than you can afford
• Feeling anxious, stressed or irritable when not gambling
• Chasing losses or borrowing money to gamble
• Neglecting work, family or personal responsibilities
• Lying to others about your gambling habits
• Gambling to escape problems or relieve negative emotions
• Finding it difficult to stop or take a break from gambling

Tips for Gambling Responsibly

To keep gambling a fun and enjoyable experience, consider the following guidelines:

• Set a budget before you start and stick to it
• Set a time limit for your gambling sessions
• Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose
• Take regular breaks during play
• Avoid gambling when upset, stressed or under the influence of alcohol
• Treat gambling as entertainment, not a way to make money
• Balance gambling with other leisure activities
