Self-Assessment

ARE YOU GAMBLING
SAFELY?

Honest self-reflection is the first step. Ask yourself these questions. If you answer “yes” to two or more, it may be time to use our safety tools or speak with someone.

Do you gamble to escape stress, anxiety or personal problems?
Have you spent more than you intended to β€” or chased losses?
Has gambling caused arguments with people close to you?
Do you think about gambling when you should be focused on other things?
Have you borrowed money or sold belongings to fund gambling?
Do you feel restless or irritable when trying to reduce gambling?

If any of these resonate, you are not alone. Use the tools below or call the Problem Gambling Helpline NZ: 0800 654 655 β€” free, confidential, 24/7.

Best Practices

10 TIPS FOR SAFER PLAY

These habits help keep gambling a healthy entertainment choice. We recommend all NZ players read and apply them.

01Set a budget before you play β€” and treat it like a ticket price, not an investment.
02Never chase losses β€” the next bet won’t fix what the last one cost.
03Take regular breaks β€” stand up, drink water, check the time every 30 minutes.
04Don’t gamble under stress β€” emotional decisions lead to poor play choices.
05Never gamble with money you need β€” only use disposable entertainment funds.
06Keep gambling separate from alcohol β€” impaired judgement and gambling don’t mix.
07Use the safety tools β€” set deposit and session limits before you start, not after.
08Balance with other activities β€” gambling should be one of many leisure options, not the only one.
09Understand that house always has an edge β€” over time, gambling costs money; it doesn’t earn it.
10Talk to someone if you’re unsure β€” the NZ helpline is free, private, and non-judgmental.

Responsible Gaming FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I set deposit limits at Christchurch Casino NZ?

Log in to your account, click your profile icon, and navigate to Account Settings β†’ Responsible Gambling β†’ Deposit Limits. Set your preferred daily, weekly, or monthly cap. Limits take effect immediately. Decreasing a limit is instant; increasing a limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period to protect you from impulsive decisions.

What is self-exclusion and how does it work?

Self-exclusion permanently closes your Christchurch Casino NZ account for a minimum period of 6 months. Once activated, the account cannot be reopened during this period β€” not even by contacting customer support. This is a deliberate design choice to ensure the protection holds. You can request self-exclusion from Account Settings β†’ Responsible Gambling β†’ Self-Exclusion, or by contacting our support team directly.

Can I still withdraw my balance during a cooling-off period?

Yes. During a cooling-off period, your account remains accessible for withdrawals only. You can log in and request a withdrawal of your remaining balance at any time. You will not be able to deposit or access games. This ensures your money is always yours β€” the restriction applies only to playing.

What if I’m worried about someone else’s gambling?

The Problem Gambling Foundation of NZ offers dedicated support for families and whānau affected by a loved one’s gambling. Call 0800 654 655 (free, 24/7) to speak with a trained counsellor. You can also access online resources at pgf.org.nz. You do not need to wait for the person to seek help themselves β€” support for those around them is equally important.

How does Christchurch Casino NZ prevent underage gambling?

Every player is required to verify their identity (18+) before making a first deposit or withdrawal. We use NZ identity document verification to confirm age and identity. If we suspect underage access at any time, the account is suspended pending investigation. We also support parental control software β€” tools like Net Nanny and Qustodio can block access to online gambling sites on shared devices.

Is it possible to reopen an account after self-exclusion?

After the minimum exclusion period (6 months), you may contact our support team to request account reinstatement. This is a deliberate, considered process β€” you will be required to confirm your request and acknowledge the responsible gambling information before reinstatement. We strongly encourage anyone returning from self-exclusion to use our deposit and session limit tools from day one.
