Responsible Play & Support (New Zealand)
Korvixanz.com promotes safe, informed play. Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money or cope with distress.
Safer play guidelines
- Only gamble money you can afford to lose; never use rent, bills, or borrowed funds.
- Set a budget and a time limit before you start; stop when either limit is reached.
- Take regular breaks; avoid gambling when tired, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol/drugs.
- Do not chase losses. Past outcomes do not predict future results.
- Keep gambling separate from work, study, and relationships.
- Gambling is for adults only (18+ in New Zealand for most gambling activities).
Spend & time controls (tips)
- Use a separate entertainment wallet/account and track deposits and withdrawals.
- Schedule a hard stop time; set alarms and log out when it triggers.
- Turn off auto-play features and avoid continuous play patterns.
- Review your play weekly; if spending/time rises, reduce limits or take a break.
Warning signs
- Spending more than planned or hiding gambling from others.
- Chasing losses, borrowing money, or selling items to gamble.
- Feeling restless/irritable when not gambling.
- Gambling to escape anxiety, low mood, or problems.
Self-exclusion & getting help
