Responsible Gaming

The train is a lot more fun when you choose your own stop

Important Notice

Money Train 2 keeps the carriages rolling with the promise of a bigger haul down the line, and that pull can carry gambling past a healthy limit. If staying on board is costing you money, sleep, or time with family, reach out for help today. Free and confidential support runs at every hour.

Signs of Problem Gambling

  • Spending more money than you can afford to lose
  • Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities
  • Chasing losses by gambling more
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
  • Lying about gambling habits
  • Feeling anxious or depressed about gambling
  • Being unable to stop or reduce gambling

Tips for Safe Gambling

Set a Budget

Buy a ticket you can afford to lose, and let that be the whole fare.

Set Time Limits

Pick your stop before you board so the train doesn't run away with your evening.

Never Chase Losses

A carriage that came up empty won't pay out later. Get off and move on.

Take Breaks

Step onto the platform between rounds to keep a clear view of the ride.
