Responsible Gambling

At Bets-Betting.com, we’re committed to ensuring betting remains a fun and safe activity for Kiwi punters. Whether you’re wagering on the All Blacks or an IPL match, gambling carries risks. Our guidelines and resources, aligned with New Zealand’s Gambling Act 2003, help you stay in control.

Guidelines for Responsible Gambling

• Set a Budget: Decide how much you can afford (e.g., NZ$50 for a Super Rugby weekend) and stick to it. Treat betting as entertainment, not income.
• Know the Risks: Understand odds and rules for bets, whether on rugby handicaps or cricket runs, to make informed choices.
• Take Breaks: Step away during long sessions, like a Test match, to avoid impulsive bets.
• Don’t Chase Losses: Losing a wager on the Black Caps? Don’t double down to recover—it can lead to bigger losses.
• Limit Your Time: Track time spent betting to balance it with work, whānau, or other responsibilities.
• Stay Clear-Headed: Avoid betting under the influence to maintain sound judgment.

Signs of Problem Gambling

If betting stops being fun or impacts your life, it may be time to seek help. Watch for these signs:

• Spending more time or money than intended, like betting beyond your budget on Super Rugby.
• Borrowing funds or selling items to place bets.
• Feeling stressed, secretive, or anxious about your betting habits.
• Neglecting work, family, or hobbies due to gambling.
