Keep clear limits
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose after essential expenses. Set money and time limits before starting, and use the operator’s deposit limits, time-outs or self-exclusion tools. Do not borrow to gamble or try to win back losses.
Know when to step away
Spending more than planned, hiding gambling, borrowing money, losing sleep or feeling unable to stop can signal harm. You do not need to wait for a crisis to seek help. Consider telling someone you trust and blocking access to gambling sites and payments.
Find independent support
Gambling Helpline New Zealand offers support for people affected by gambling. Visit the service directly for current ways to contact it.
Gambling Therapy provides international online support and information. Use its website to find help appropriate to your location and language.
Self-exclusion and blocking
Ask each operator to apply self-exclusion, and check whether your country has a scheme covering multiple operators. Ask your bank about gambling transaction blocks and consider device-level blocking software. Unsubscribe from gambling promotions where possible.
Age restrictions
Betblast is for adults aged 18 or over, or the higher legal age required in their jurisdiction and by the operator. Keep account credentials private and protect shared devices from access by minors.
Concerned about someone else?
Speak calmly about the effects you have noticed. Independent gambling support services can also help family and friends. Avoid lending money to cover further gambling, and seek support for your own wellbeing.
