Responsible Play & Support (NZ)

moanalagoonlight.com provides gambling-related information and may link to third-party services. We do not offer gambling or accept bets. Gambling is restricted to 18+ in New Zealand.

Stay in control

Set a spend limit: decide your maximum loss for a session/week and stop when you hit it.
Set a time limit: use alarms; take regular breaks and avoid chasing losses.
Only gamble with disposable income: never use rent, bills, or borrowed money.
Avoid gambling when stressed or using alcohol/drugs.
Track your play: keep a simple log of time and money spent.

Timeouts & self-exclusion

If you use a gambling operator, check their tools for deposit limits, session limits, cooling-off (timeouts), and self-exclusion. For venue-based gambling, you can ask staff about exclusion options.

Warning signs

Spending more than planned, hiding gambling, borrowing money, chasing losses, or feeling anxious/irritable when not gambling can be signs you need support.
