Responsible gambling
You must be 18 or over to open an account at any casino listed here. Treat the money you deposit as the cost of an evening out, decide the amount before you log in, and stop when it is gone.
The warning signs worth watching for are practical rather than dramatic: topping up a balance twice in one session, playing to win back what a previous session cost, moving to higher stakes to make the numbers move faster, or keeping the hours you play to yourself. Deposit limits, loss limits, session clocks and cooling-off periods sit in the account settings of every brand we rank, and a lower limit usually applies straight away while a higher one waits out a delay.
Free and confidential help is available across New Zealand from the Gambling Helpline NZ on 0800 654 655, which runs 24 hours a day, and from the Problem Gambling Foundation of New Zealand, which offers face-to-face and online counselling. Both also support family members, not only the person gambling.
