Responsible Gambling
Powerball is all about excitement and entertainment, but it’s important to play responsibly and stay in control. We are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices and providing tools to help you enjoy the game safely.
Key Principles of Responsible Gambling
-
Gamble for Fun:
Playing Powerball should always be an enjoyable activity, not a way to solve financial difficulties or make money. Only spend what you can afford to lose.
-
Age Restrictions:
To play Powerball, you must be at least 18 years old. We have strict age verification processes to ensure compliance with this requirement.
-
Set Your Limits:
Decide on a budget before you play and stick to it. Avoid chasing losses or spending more than you planned.
-
Take Breaks:
Gambling continuously can lead to unhealthy habits. Pause and reflect if you feel your playtime is increasing.
-
Know the Signs:
If you find gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, or well-being, it’s time to seek support.
-
Tools and Support
- Spending Controls: Manage your gambling by setting deposit or spending limits through your account.
- Self-Exclusion: If you feel the need to take a break, we offer options to temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from playing Powerball.
- Access Help: Reach out to the Gambling Helpline NZ (0800 654 655) or visit www.gamblinghelpline.co.nz for confidential advice and assistance.
