Responsible Gambling

Keep gambling within limits

Gambling carries a risk of financial loss. Treat it as a paid form of entertainment and never as a reliable source of income. Decide in advance how much time and money you can afford to spend, keeping essential living costs and savings separate. Do not borrow money to gamble or increase a stake in an attempt to recover a loss.

This 22Bet New Zealand information guide cannot set limits or restrict an external gambling account. Those actions must be taken through the operator providing the account. If you are worried about your play, contact that operator and an independent support service rather than waiting for the next result.

Recognising warning signs

Consider whether gambling is taking more time or money than intended, causing arguments or interfering with work, sleep and relationships. Hiding spending, borrowing to continue, repeatedly chasing losses or feeling unable to stop are reasons to seek support. You do not need to wait until every warning sign applies.

A self-check is not a diagnosis. If gambling is causing distress, a qualified professional or specialist support service can help assess the situation. Avoid gambling when intoxicated or when using it to escape distress, as these circumstances can make limits harder to maintain.

Limits and breaks on 22Bet New Zealand

The donor's responsible-gambling section directs customers to support to arrange account limits and periods away from gambling. Contact the support team using the verified website or account. Ask which restrictions are available, when they take effect and what happens when the chosen period ends. Keep confirmation of the request.

Practical measures outside the account can also help: remove saved payment methods where possible, disable promotional messages, use device-level blocking tools and ask a trusted person for support. These measures complement account restrictions and do not replace them.

Self-exclusion

The donor lists live chat and block@22Bet.com as channels for a request to stop gambling. Its published policy describes blocking account access and promotional communication during self-exclusion. Verify the current contact details on the operator's own responsible-gambling page before submitting the request.

State clearly that you want self-exclusion, identify the account through the verified channel and ask for the duration and scope to be confirmed. Do not open another account or use another person's details to bypass a restriction. If you use more than one operator, check each provider's exclusion process and any applicable national exclusion scheme. An exclusion at one service must not be assumed to cover all others.

Independent support

The donor references independent organisations including Gambling Therapy, GamCare and Gamblers Anonymous. If you are in New Zealand, use their websites to check which support is available for your location and language. Their available services and geographical scope differ.

Friends and family affected by another person's gambling can also seek advice. If you are in immediate danger or feel unable to keep yourself safe, contact local emergency services or an urgent crisis service where you are in New Zealand.

Protecting minors

This website is intended for people aged at least 18, or the higher legal age that applies in your local region. Keep gambling accounts, passwords and payment methods inaccessible to children. On shared devices, sign out after use and consider parental controls. A minor must not use an adult's account even with the adult's permission.

The donor states that it can request identity evidence and restrict underage access. If you suspect a minor has opened or used an account, notify the operator through a verified channel so it can investigate. Do not circulate the child's identity documents publicly.
