About this service

Gambling comes in many forms, such as:

  • Pokie machines in pubs and clubs

  • TAB (betting on racing and sports)

  • Lotto

  • Casinos

  • Online gambling and casinos

This service aims to prevent the gambling harm to you and your whānau. We do this by:

  • encouraging you to avoid gambling using a rāhui (exclusion) process

  • building your resilience, with a plan to walk away from a gambling opportunity

We provide this service for 1-2 days each week.
