Responsible gambling
Responsible gambling
Online casino play is restricted to adults aged 18 and over. It is entertainment, never a way to earn money, because the house edge on every game guarantees a loss over enough rounds.
Warning signs include chasing losses, staking money set aside for bills, hiding play from family and needing bigger bets for the same excitement. Deposit limits, loss limits and session timers sit in the account settings of every brand we rank. Set them on the day you register, since a tightened limit applies at once while a loosened one takes 24 hours.
Free help is available across New Zealand. Call the Gambling Helpline NZ on 0800 654 655, contact the Problem Gambling Foundation of New Zealand, or ask Salvation Army Oasis for face to face counselling.
