Safer Gambling Tips

  1. 01

    Never gamble to make money.

    Checkered Flag and all pokies are games of chance with a house edge. Treat them as entertainment with a cost, not an investment.

  2. 02

    Set a budget.

    Decide how much you can afford to lose before you play. Treat that amount as gone the moment you start.

  3. 03

    Use deposit limits.

    Most online casinos allow you to set daily, weekly or monthly deposit caps. Use them.

  4. 04

    Take breaks.

    Step away from the game every 30 minutes. Stretch, drink water, check the time.

  5. 05

    Never chase losses.

    If you lose your session budget, stop. Chasing losses almost always leads to bigger losses.

  6. 06

    Keep gambling separate from life.

    Never use money for rent, food, bills or family needs to gamble.

  7. 07

    Talk to someone.

    If you're worried about your gambling, tell a trusted friend, family member or counsellor. Shame keeps people silent; speaking up is the first step to change.

Trade on a partner-friendly platform

International compliance, transparent operations.

Playing Checkered Flag Responsibly

Checkered Flag is a medium-to-high volatility pokie with frequent small wins and occasional larger payouts (free games, Hold & Spin, progressives). This can feel rewarding but also encourage longer play.

  • Expect to lose. Over time, the house edge means you will lose more than you win.
  • Enjoy the features. Free games and Hold & Spin are fun to trigger, but they are not guaranteed to return your losses.
  • Set a loss limit. Decide in advance the maximum you will lose in a session (e.g. $50 or $100) and stop when you reach it.
  • Do not bet max. Betting the maximum bet size accelerates losses. Smaller bets let you play longer and enjoy more spins.

If you find yourself playing Checkered Flag more often than you'd like, or spending more than planned, use the tools above or contact Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858.

Gambling should be fun. If it stops being fun, it's time to stop.
