Play only from 18+, and every Spinfever Casino account carries deposit limits, loss limits, session time reminders, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion.
Useful the first time you log in, or the evening you start wondering about your spending.
It answers the common worry that online play has no handles to hold.
It clears up the worry that limits take paperwork and a wait.
Age and identity before play. By the time a login is created, age is checked against photo identification, long before any payout stage. Nothing moves until that check clears, so a minor never reaches a real-money table.
Blocking software on shared devices. Software that blocks gambling sites can be installed on the family phone or computer, and the settings can sit with a password only you hold. Once it is running, those pages simply do not open.
What do I say to them? At the moment you decide to speak, choose a calm hour and describe what you see rather than what you suspect. Gambling Helpline Aotearoa answers day and night, and its counsellors speak with relatives as readily as with players.
Noticing the change early gives you a choice while it is still easy to make. Chasing a loss, hiding play, or playing past the hour you planned are all reasons to set a limit or take a pause before the next session starts.
A few of these on a normal week are worth a second look.
We would rather you used these lines than kept a hard week to yourself.
A break of days, not months. A cooling-off period holds play for a set stretch of hours or days, and you choose it in your account before you start. During it your access to play is held shut; explain the break to yourself now, so the reason is written down.
Closed for up to two years. Self-exclusion shuts access to your account for a long period, up to two years where signs of problem gambling are present, and it cannot be lifted early. You set it yourself in the account, and the helpline can talk it through with you first.
One account is the one place. No national register exists for players here. The account is where you exclude yourself, and where the tool stays if you hold only one account with us. Staff on the help line can also point you to wider support.
Settles the practical questions about limits, closing your account and the reach of an exclusion.
