RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING
Responsible Gambling
Milestone Foundation is committed to complying with the Gambling Act 2003, regulations in relation to Harm Prevention & Minimisation and taking a pro-active approach to ensure gambling is conducted in a responsible, safe and socially acceptable manner. At the same time, we accept individuals have freedom of choice in enjoying and participating in gaming as a form of their preferred entertainment.
We recognise our social responsibility in operating gaming machines and are committed to providing support to our venues, demonstrating a culture of care for all gambling customers.
Our Harm Prevention & Minimisation Policy details our commitment.
Creating a Culture of Care
Being a responsible host of gaming machines means taking care of your customers. While many gamblers will be gambling at levels they can afford, approximately one in every three regular gamblers experience harm as a result of gambling.
Milestone Foundation supports the use of Gambling Host Packs in each of its venues, ensuring that venue management and staff are well resourced to assist with their host responsibilities. Our experienced and dedicated field staff are always available to provide Harm Prevention & Minimisation Training and tips & ideas on promoting a culture of care at a venue.
