Responsible Gaming

Keep it fun and in control

• Only gamble with money you can afford to lose (never money for rent, food, bills, or debt).
• Set a budget and a time limit before you start; stop when either limit is reached.
• Take regular breaks; avoid gambling when tired, stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Chasing losses usually makes things worse—accept losses as part of the cost of entertainment.
• Know the legal age rules in NZ (often 18+, and 20+ for casinos depending on the activity/venue).

Signs gambling may be causing harm

• Spending more money or time than planned, or hiding gambling from others.
• Borrowing money, selling things, or falling behind on bills.
• Trying to win back losses, feeling irritable when cutting down, or gambling to escape problems.
• Impact on relationships, work/study, sleep, or mental health.

Tools and self-exclusion

If available on our site, use any account tools such as spending/time limits, cooling-off breaks, or account closure. In New Zealand, many licensed gambling venues can also support self-exclusion under the Gambling Act 2003. Ask the venue directly or contact support services below for guidance.
