From spooky scenes to betting routines, there are a few tricks worth knowing this Halloween…
The villains are scary, but betting without a plan can be scarier. 👀

So take a stab at safer habits:
🧪 Set your limits before you play
👻 Know when to ghost a bet
🎈 Don’t take the bait
📞 Keep those betting promos at bay
🪤 And don’t get trapped chasing a win

Trick or treat, take your pick, just don’t let betting do its trick. 🎃

What motivates change is different for everyone.

For Cam, becoming a father gave him a reason to rethink his relationship with gambling and make different choices.

As Cam shares, we're all wired differently. Finding what works for you can be an important part of reducing risk and building healthier habits.

27/10/2026

There's no one-size-fits-all approach.

For Sam, finding a healthier relationship with gambling has involved trial and error, taking breaks, setting deposit limits, and learning from experience.

Sometimes the first step is simply creating space to reflect on what's working, what isn't, and what might need to change.

Everyone gambles differently. But taking a moment to pause can make a difference.

As part of Gambling Harm Awareness Week 2026, Cam Munster is encouraging people to think differently about their gambling habits and the small steps they can take to reduce risk.

"It's about making sure gambling stays a small part of your life and doesn't take over"

This year's Bet Different. Risk Less. message focuses on three practical actions that can help create a pause before placing another bet:

✅ Take a break
✅ Bet once a week, max
✅ Set a time limit

Sometimes small changes can help you stay on track with your goals.

Bet Different. Risk Less.

A little extra time between bets can make a big difference.

As part of Gambling Harm Awareness Week 2026, Sam Docherty is helping raise awareness of ways to help people reduce their gambling risk.

"It's important to adopt some techniques before you gamble and become immersed in the moment."

Through this year's Bet Different. Risk Less. message, we're encouraging people to:

✅ Take a break
✅ Bet once a week, max
✅ Set a time limit

These small actions can help create space to reflect before gambling again and support safer gambling habits.

Bet Different. Risk Less.
