Our goal is to provide tools, resources, and support to help you maintain healthy gambling habits and seek assistance if needed.

Risk Awareness

OBSERVE: New Zealand gambling law (Gambling Act 2003) mandates clear communication about the risks associated with gambling and the signs of problematic behavior.

  • Potential Signs of Gambling Harm:
    • Frequent or increasing bets to chase losses

    • Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities
    • Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
    • Lying about time or money spent gambling
    • Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not gambling
  • Self-Assessment Test: Ask yourself the following:
    • Do I gamble to escape personal problems or relieve stress?
    • Have I tried unsuccessfully to cut back or stop gambling?
    • Has gambling caused financial hardship or relationship issues?
    • Do I feel a loss of control when gambling?
    • Has anyone expressed concern about my gambling behavior?
    If you answered "yes" to any of these, consider using our support resources or contacting a professional for confidential assistance.
