Gambling Harm Awareness Week

Gambling Harm Awareness Week

This week (September 2-8) is Gambling Harm Awareness Week in New Zealand.   

It’s the perfect opportunity to think about your betting to make sure it’s still fun for you. 

We take our commitment to Safer Betting seriously. Within your Safer Betting dashboard, you have the power to manage your account, so that you’re in control.  

From the Safer Betting dashboard, you can select options within your account for: 

  • Deposit Limits 

A Deposit Limit lets you set a limit for the amount of money you can deposit. Choose a time frame that suits with Daily, Weekly or Periodic limits. Deposit Limits mean you can easily control how much you want to spend. 

  • Bet Stake Limit 

Choose a Bet Stake Limit to set a maximum amount of money to spend on each bet. 

  • Curfews 

Curfews let you set time periods when you’d like your account to not be available. You can set Curfews that range from a couple of hours, to several days. 

  • Block Out 

If you would like to control access to your account on specific days of the week without closing your account, you can use Block Out. You can choose up to six Block Out days in a week. 

  • Take a Break 

If you would like to take a break from betting but don’t want to close your account, you can use Take a Break. It allows you to take a break for a set period of time that feels right for you, up to six (6) months. 

  • Check In 

To help you manage your activity, you can set several Check Ins on your account for time logged in, bet amount, account balance and deposit amount. 

  • Account Closure 

Account Closure lets you close your account. If you feel like you can no longer gamble safely, you can make the decision to take control.  

  • Market Control 

Choose the wagering categories you want to bet on, and those you don’t. You can select a particular sport or racing category, and we’ll ensure you can’t view or place bets for that market.   

  • Deposit Options 

You can choose to enable or disable deposit options to suit you. Just click on the option you want to disable. Click again to enable.    

  • Self-Exclusion 

You can self-exclude immediately from all Entain New Zealand associated brands by using our exclusion options, with time periods from six months to five years, or forever (lifetime) available. 

Head to the Safer Betting section of your account to find more information on the Safer Betting options and how to use them however you like.
