This week, 31 August–6 September 2026, is Gambling Harm Awareness Week in New Zealand. It’s a good time to check in on your betting and make sure it’s still fun and within your limits.
Your Safer Betting dashboard gives you the tools to manage your account, set limits and stay in control. Because betting should always be on your terms.
Safer Betting Tools
From the Safer Betting dashboard, you can select options within your account for:
A Deposit Limit lets you set a limit for the amount of money you can deposit. Whether it’s daily, weekly, monthly, or longer, you choose the limit and we’ll help you stick to it.
Stay in control, one bet at a time. Set a Bet Stake Limit to cap how much you can stake on any individual bet. It’s a simple way to manage your spending and bet with confidence..
Choose when you can access your account. Curfew lets you block access to your account during selected times of the day, helping you create boundaries and stay in control of your betting.
Block Out lets you restrict access to your account on selected days each week. Choose up to six days and let the settings do the work, helping you stay on track without needing to think about it.
Need some time away? With Take a Break, you can pause your betting activity without closing your account. Choose a timeframe that feels right for you and take the space you need.
Set Check Ins to receive a prompt when you reach activity levels you’ve chosen, including time logged in, bet amounts, deposits, or balance changes. Helping you stay aware and in control.
Not every market needs to be on your radar. With Market Control, you can switch off selected sports and racing categories, helping you focus on the betting experience that’s right for you.
If you only need to use some Deposit Options, you can enable and disable the options from displaying in the deposit screen.
You can self-exclude from betting on your betcha account for a period of up to five years or permanently.
Head to the Safer Betting section of your account to find more information on the Safer Betting options and how to use them however you like.
