Responsible gambling
Responsible gambling
Every brand on this site is for players aged 18 and over. Pokies and table games are paid entertainment, never a way to earn money or clear a debt.
Decide your monthly budget before you deposit, and set the account limits that enforce it. Deposit caps, loss limits, session timers and a temporary account freeze are standard at the casinos we rank. A lower limit applies straight away; raising one is deliberately slow, which is exactly the point.
Watch for the pattern rather than a single session: bigger stakes to win back a bad night, playing longer than planned, keeping it quiet from people at home, borrowing to fund a deposit.
Support is free and confidential in New Zealand. Gambling Helpline NZ answers on 0800 654 655, around the clock, and the Problem Gambling Foundation of New Zealand runs face-to-face counselling. Both also help partners and whānau.
