Ask what your venue exclusion covers.
Casino Without Self-Exclusion: venue and online exclusions are not identical, so protection needs to be built deliberately.
In New Zealand, venues such as casinos operate host responsibility and exclusion processes, typically through the venue. A venue exclusion does not automatically extend to overseas websites. If you have excluded yourself at a venue, plan for online exposure by using payment blocks and filters. Do not read the gap as permission.
Details worth taking awayAsk what your venue exclusion covers.
Use blocks and filters for websites.
Revisit your plan regularly.
Ask the venue what its exclusion covers and for how long. Then list online channels you have used and what, if anything, protects you there.
Overseas sites operate outside NZ venue processes. Their own exclusion tools, if any, are separate and need to be set up independently.
Write down your plan: bank blocks, device filters, removing saved cards and telling someone close. Review it monthly.
If urges appear, the Gambling Helpline and Problem Gambling Foundation offer free support, and you can reach out before things escalate.
