Wellbeing · New Zealand
Sports betting should remain entertainment — never a way to earn income or recover losses. Under the Gambling Act 2003, licensed operators in New Zealand must provide tools to help you stay in control. We encourage every visitor to use them proactively.
Set limits before you bet
Decide your maximum stake and session length before opening an app. Deposit limits, loss limits, and reality checks are most effective when configured on day one — not after a losing streak. Treat your betting budget as a fixed leisure expense, separate from rent, bills, and savings.
Recognise warning signs
Chasing losses, hiding activity from family, borrowing to wager, or feeling anxious when not betting may indicate harmful patterns. Pausing immediately — through a time-out or self-exclusion — is a sign of strength, not weakness.
