Responsible gambling
This guide does not take bets. If gambling has stopped being entertainment, you do not need another casino page. You need a person, and in New Zealand that call is free.
Talk to someone
Gambling Helpline answers day and night. Call 0800 654 655, or text 8006. You can stay anonymous. The helpline is for you if you are worried about your own gambling, and it is also for you if you are worried about someone else. If you want a Māori, Pasifika, debt, or youth specialist, say so. Those paths exist through the same service.
The website is gamblinghelpline.co.nz. We do not run it, and we cannot see a chat you start there.
Before you play
- Only if you are 18 or over. This entire site is for adults.
- Set a money limit and a time limit before the session, not after a loss.
- Do not borrow to play, and do not use rent, food, or someone else’s money.
- Do not play when you are drunk, angry, or trying to win a loss back.
- A bonus is optional. If the offer is the only reason to deposit, skip the deposit. Our bonus notes do not include a figure, on purpose.
On the casino, not on this guide
Ripper’s own site links to a responsible gaming page. Use that for the operator’s tools: limits, cool-offs, and self-exclusion if they offer them. AceLucky, BetNeptune, LekkerBets, and AfricaSports should each have their own tools too. A UK licence does not set the limit for you. You still have to turn the tool on.
Venue self-exclusion for pokie machines in New Zealand is a separate scheme. It does not automatically close an offshore casino account. If you need an offshore account shut, use that site’s own exclusion and tell the helpline what you have done.
If you are supporting someone else
You can call the helpline about another person’s gambling. You do not have to wait until there is a crisis, and you do not have to manage their login. This guide will not ask you for their password either. The login page is only a warning that sign-in happens on the operator site.
The Department of Internal Affairs publishes the provider rules for online casino gambling in New Zealand, including advertising limits that apply to operators. That is the official context. It is not a substitute for the helpline if someone is being harmed now.
What this website will not do
We will not take a bet, hold a balance, reset a casino password, or talk you into a deposit from this page. The rest of the guide is an affiliate publication about Ripper Casino and four other brands. You can leave it. The phone number above does not earn us a commission.
