Give yourself a stopping point
Set a time and money limit before play. Keep money for bills and essentials separate. Do not increase stakes to recover losses. If it feels hard to stop, take a break and speak to someone you trust or a support service.
Free problem gambling help in NZ
Gambling Helpline New Zealand offers confidential support: 0800 654 655 or text 8006. You can seek help for your own gambling or someone else’s.
Different products, different rules
Problem gambling in NZ can involve any of these products. Sports betting is for adults aged 18+. Entry to a New Zealand land-based casino is 20+. These thresholds should not be combined into a single claim about online casino licensing. Check Department of Internal Affairs: information for players for the online transition.
International and British resources
Gambling Therapy offers international support. GamCare and GambleAware provide British support and information. GAMSTOP is a Great Britain online self-exclusion service; it should not be assumed to cover operators in New Zealand.
Regulators are not support endorsements
MGA, iGaming Ontario and the Danish Gambling Authority have different regulatory roles and territories. A link here does not mean CasinoPlanet holds a licence, is a member, or is approved by them. MGA licensee register is relevant only when checking a specific Maltese licence claim. For problem gambling help in NZ, start with the Gambling Helpline on 0800 654 655.
