Responsible gambling

Responsible gambling

Online casino play is for adults aged 18 and over. It is entertainment paid for with money you can afford to lose, never a way to cover bills or recover a loss.

Watch for the warning signs. Chasing losses with bigger stakes, playing longer than planned, borrowing to deposit, hiding sessions from family, or feeling anxious when you cannot play. Any one is a reason to stop.

Every casino we list offers deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion. Set a deposit limit at registration rather than after a bad week. Reductions apply immediately; increases usually take 24 to 48 hours.

Free help is available in New Zealand. The Gambling Helpline runs 24 hours on 0800 654 655, and the Problem Gambling Foundation offers free counselling nationwide. Both also support family members.
