Fixed Limits Beat Good Intentions

Removes the worry that a casino hands you limits only after you have already lost.

Before Your First Deposit

A deposit limit caps how much you can add to your balance in a set period, and changes hold once confirmed. Switch it on before your first deposit of the evening.

Your Nightly Ceiling

A loss limit stops the session once your net losses reach the figure you chose. Set it when you want a bad run to end on its own terms.

A Nudge at the Hour

Session time reminders pop up at the interval you pick, showing how long you have played. Turn them on if an evening tends to stretch past what you planned.

A Break You Cannot Undo

Self-exclusion blocks your access to the account entirely for the period you choose. Choose it when you need distance, not a gentler reminder.

Checked, Not Assumed

Reality checks interrupt play to show your time and spend so far, so you decide with the facts in front of you. Enable them before the session, not after a loss.

On a Calm Evening

Set a Limit Before the Session Starts

Worth doing on a quiet evening before you play, not in the middle of a losing run.

Profile, Then Safer Gambling

Open your profile from the menu and look for the safer gambling section. Check that your verification is complete, since limits attach to a verified account.

Cap or Cool Off

Choose which control you want: deposit limit, loss limit, session reminder or exclusion. Deposit and loss caps are set before play, so pick them while your head is clear.

How Long Should It Run?

Decide the period the limit should cover and a figure you can part with as entertainment cost. Shorter periods give you a firmer grip on a single evening.

Saved and Locked In

Confirm the change and check the confirmation screen shows the figure you intended. Lowering is the safe direction; leave the limit in place for the full period you chose.

Is this still entertainment for me?

By the time you are reading this, the signs are usually already there: chasing a gap, hiding the time, chasing the mood back. Naming one of them early is easier than naming all of them later. A limit set now, or a pause, is the first step, and it costs you nothing.

Read the list slowly and count how many sound familiar.

You play longer than you planned to
Chasing a gap you opened earlier
Spending set aside for bills or food
Telling nobody where the evening went
Feeling flat until the next session starts
Borrowing to keep the account topped up
Playing to fix a mood, not for fun

When you want to talk to someone

It removes the worry that asking for help costs money or gets you judged.

Safer Gambling Aotearoa

Health New Zealand runs a plain information site for anyone who gambles and for families: what harm looks like, small changes worth trying, and a finder for support close to home. safergambling.org.nz

Two lengths of stepping away

Hours or days away. This is the short option: access is closed for hours or days, just enough to break a run of sessions. Open your account settings, pick the period and confirm, and the block applies from then. The account stays open, so nothing is lost.

Close it for good. Longer, firmer, and set on every platform the operator runs: access is closed for up to two years, and it does not lift early when you ask. Start it in your account settings or by contacting support. Your balance stays yours.

Set it in your account. Nothing national covers you here, so the account itself is where the stop is set, for up to two years. Choose it in settings, or ask support to start it for you. The helpline can talk you through the next step.

Player Answers

Straight Answers on Limits and Breaks

Removes the most common worry: that asking about limits or exclusion will flag your account or cost you access.

How do I help a family member who plays too much?+

Ring the Gambling Helpline Aotearoa on 0800 654 655 at any hour, and they will talk you through options as a relative: free text 8006 also reaches them. The Problem Gambling Foundation offers free counselling and cultural support across 18 clinics nationwide. You do not need your relative's agreement to make that first call.

Can I set deposit limits from my phone?+

Yes. The mobile version of the site carries the same account section as the desktop, so limits are set on the phone you already hold. Open your account area and the deposit cap sits alongside loss limits and time reminders. Nothing extra needs installing.

What does a short pause change in my account?+

A pause holds you out of play for the span you choose, while your balance and history stay untouched. Once that span ends, play opens again on its own, with no call needed. Self-exclusion is the longer route and is treated separately.

Does self-exclusion here block me at other casinos?+

No. New Zealand has no national self-exclusion register, so here the exclusion is set inside your casino account and covers this platform. If you want cover across several operators, you would arrange each one yourself. The Gambling Helpline Aotearoa can talk through how that works.

Is there any way to lift a self-exclusion before it runs out?+

No. A self-exclusion stands for the whole period you picked, and our support team cannot shorten it on request. Choose the length with that in mind, since the account stays shut until the period finishes.

How do I shut my account permanently?+

Write to [email protected] and ask for permanent closure, and the team will handle it through your account. Closing it removes access for good, so a fixed-term break may suit you better if you simply want distance. You can also ask about your data at the same address.
