Gambling should always be fun, social, and in moderation. At Goldrush Bushbuckridge, we are committed to making sure your gaming experience is safe, enjoyable, and well-informed. Our goal is to support a culture of responsible gambling and empower every guest to make decisions that keep gaming a positive part of their lifestyle.
Responsible Gambling Starts With You
Responsible gambling is about making choices that align with your personal limits—financial, emotional, and time-based. Ask yourself:
- Can I afford to lose this money?
- Am I gambling for enjoyment, or to solve a problem?
- Do I feel in control of my gaming habits?
Understanding the answers to these questions is the first step in keeping gambling healthy.
Spotting the Warning Signs
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be alert to the following signs:
- Gambling with money meant for other expenses
- Becoming secretive or defensive about gambling habits
- Feeling guilt, stress, or anxiety after playing
- Using gambling as a way to escape emotional challenges
- Struggling to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
