It is always OK not to gamble
You can enjoy the hotel, dining and the wider resort without gambling. No gambling activity is free of risk, and gambling should never be treated as a source of income.
PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Give yourself clear boundaries.
Set limits before you visit.
Decide how much time and money you are prepared to spend. Keep money for everyday essentials separate and stop when a limit is reached.
Take regular breaks.
Step away from the gaming floor and check how you are feeling. Avoid gambling when distressed, tired or affected by alcohol or other substances.
Do not chase losses.
Spending more to try to recover a loss can make the harm worse. Past outcomes do not make a future win more likely.
Reach out early.
If gambling is affecting your finances, sleep, relationships or wellbeing, consider talking with a professional support service.
Recognise when it is becoming harmful.
Warning signs can include spending more than intended, borrowing to gamble, hiding activity, missing commitments or continuing despite negative effects. Harm can affect partners, family and friends as well as the person gambling.
You do not need to wait for a crisis to ask for support.
Taking a break or self-excluding.
The Star publishes information about safer gambling support and self-exclusion. Speak with venue staff or use the official resources to understand available options and the areas they cover. Korvellan cannot arrange, manage or remove an exclusion.
