Speak to someone
The Gambling Helpline can be reached on 1800 858 858. Gambling Help Online provides online support. South Australian services are listed through Gambling Harm Support SA.
Make the next visit optional
Decide on time and spending boundaries before a visit, keep money for essential expenses separate and arrange a way to leave. A pause is useful whenever continuing stops feeling like a choice.
Ask about exclusion arrangements
A venue or support service can explain the self-exclusion options relevant to your circumstances. Ask what locations are covered, how the arrangement is recorded and whom to contact if you need help with it.
Supporting someone else
Choose a calm time to talk about the effect on daily life and finances. A support service can help you plan the conversation and understand available options; you do not need to know every detail of someone else's gambling before asking for support.
