Responsible Gaming

Last updated: May 27, 2026

Speed Online Gaming Limited supports responsible play. Gambling should be entertainment—not a way to make money or recover losses. If play is no longer fun, take a break and seek help.

You must be at least 20 years old to use the Service.
Availability of wagering features depends on the Gambling Act 2003 and applicable operators’ terms.

Practical tools

Limits

Set deposit/spend, loss, and session time limits. Consider a weekly/monthly budget and stick to it.

Cool-downs

Take a short break (e.g., 24 hours to several weeks) to reduce impulse play.

Self-exclusion

Request longer-term exclusion with the relevant operator and, where available, self-exclusion programs offered through the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) and Safer Gambling Aotearoa.

Extra safeguards

Use device/app blocking tools, remove saved payment methods, and enable spending controls with your bank/card issuer when available.

Warning signs

Chasing losses or gambling with money needed for bills
Hiding play, borrowing to gamble, or feeling anxious/irritable when not playing
Increased time/money spent to get the same excitement
