Practical, everyday habits

Safer play tips

Social casino games are for entertainment only. These tips help you stay in control, keep it fun, and know when to pause.

Take a self-check Find NZ support

Set a time limit

Decide how long you’ll play before you start, then stop when the timer ends.

Use a phone alarm for a clear stop point.
Keep sessions short (e.g., 15–30 minutes).
Take a longer break before returning.

Plan breaks

Breaks help reset your attention and reduce impulsive decisions.

Stand up and stretch every 10–15 minutes.
Swap screens: walk, water, or quick snack.
Avoid playing when tired, stressed, or upset.

Don’t chase the feeling

If you notice frustration or urgency, that’s a strong signal to stop.

Pause after a “near miss” or big win moment.
Skip “just one more” loops—end the session.
Talk it out with someone you trust if it’s hard to stop.

Play for fun only

Set your expectations: outcomes are random and entertainment-focused.

Pick a session goal like “relax” or “try a new game.”
Track time and spend the same way you track any hobby.
If it stops being fun, it’s time to stop playing.

A simple “before you play” checklist

Answer these quickly. If you say “no” to any, consider taking a break and revisiting later.

Checklist

Select all that apply:

I’m spending more time than I planned. I’m chasing wins or trying to “get back” losses. I feel stressed, irritable, or restless when I stop. I’m hiding play time, spend, or activity from others. I’m skipping sleep, meals, or responsibilities to keep playing. I’m borrowing money or feeling financial pressure due to play. I’m using play to escape anxiety, loneliness, or low mood. I’ve tried to cut back before, but it didn’t stick.

What to do next (simple options)

Set a time limit before you start — and stop when it ends.
Take a 15-minute break, hydrate, and check how you feel.
If you ticked several items, consider reaching out for confidential support.
