Tabcorp believes that industry, government and the community have a shared responsibility to help prevent the development of gambling related problems, and to ensure that problem gambling support services are available for those individuals requiring assistance.
Responsible Gambling - A Definition

The vast majority of people who use gambling products are recreational players - they play for entertainment, and at a level appropriate for their circumstances. However, a small number may currently or in the future have difficulty controlling their consumption of gambling products. Tabcorp believes the community, government and industry have a shared responsibility to help problem gamblers in identifying their problem, and in accessing problem gambling support services.

Tabcorp defines responsible gambling from an individual's perspective as follows:

  • "Responsible gambling is each person exercising a rational and sensible choice based on his or her individual circumstances."


In Tabcorp's view, the industry's role in responsible gambling is to:

  • offer products and services in a way that facilitates customers' ability to engage in responsible gambling;
  • provide an environment in which customers can responsibly enjoy participation in their chosen leisure activities;
  • ensure that managers and employees participate in training and awareness programs relating to responsible service;
  • ensure the provision of appropriate safety nets for customers unable to control their gambling behaviour;
  • make available industry and government endorsed information relating to:
    •    the nature of products offered, including the likelihood of winning and losing, and associated risks;
    •    customers' rights including avenues for complaint; 
    •    problem gambling support services including self-exclusion programs;
  • conduct business honestly, with integrity and in compliance with legislation, regulation and Industry Codes.
