Responsible gambling
Responsible gambling
Gambling is for adults aged 18 and over. It is entertainment, never a way to earn money or clear a debt.
Warning signs worth taking seriously:
- ✘ Depositing again to win back what you lost that day.
- ✘ Playing longer than you planned, or hiding it from family.
- ✘ Borrowing money to fund a deposit.
Every licensed operator lets you set a deposit limit, a session limit and a cooling off period in account settings. Self exclusion is also available and locks you out for a fixed term. Use them before you need them.
Free, confidential help is available in New Zealand. Call the Gambling Helpline on 0800 654 655, day or night, or contact the Problem Gambling Foundation for face to face counselling.
