Responsible gambling
Responsible gambling
Casino play is restricted to adults aged 18 and over, and it belongs in the entertainment budget. Money set aside for rent, bills or loan repayments never goes into a casino account.
The signals worth watching are borrowed stakes, longer sessions than planned and bets that climb after a losing run. Deposit, loss and session limits sit in the account settings of every brand on this page: set them before the first spin. A lower limit applies at once, a higher one only after a waiting period.
Help is free and confidential. Gambling Helpline NZ answers on 0800 654 655, 24 hours a day, and takes texts on 8006. The Problem Gambling Foundation of New Zealand and Safer Gambling Aotearoa run counselling services, and both also support partners and whānau.
