Five Controls

Switch On the Limits That Fit Your Budget

Five tools sit in your account; switching them on takes minutes and keeps the evening within your budget.

Decided Before, Not After

Before your first deposit, cap how much can go in, so the sum is decided while you are calm, not after a bad run.

The Evening That Ran Long

After a session that went further than you planned, a loss limit sets the total loss that ends play, decided in advance.

Pick Your Check-In Times

On a long evening, session time reminders nudge you at the intervals you pick, so a quick look does not quietly become the whole night.

A Firm Door, Not a Pause

When limits stop being enough, self-exclusion closes your account rather than pausing play; New Zealand has no national register, so it is set here.

A Clear View of the Clock

Late in a session, reality checks show how long you have played and what you have spent, which helps once the hours blur.

Limit Setup

Where Do the Limits Live in Your Account?

Straight answers, no small print: this is how a Woo Casino limit gets switched on from your account.

A Profile That Matches You

First Look at the Menu

Look for the responsible gambling area in your account menu, where every control sits together instead of spread across the site.

Choose One Control

Choose deposit, loss or session controls, and set each one at a level your normal spending can carry without strain.

Shown, Not Assumed

Confirm the change, then reopen the section and check the figure is showing; a limit you cannot see is a limit you cannot trust.

Check the Age Before You Share a Screen

What Unlocks a First Withdrawal? At sign-up the age rule is fixed at 18 and above, and a passport or licence confirms it before any money leaves the account. Each player may hold only one account, and duplicate accounts will be closed.

Lock the Filter Behind a Password. Since the account lives on a shared phone or laptop, install blocking software that filters gambling sites for every profile on that device. Settings that need a password keep the filter in place when you are not looking.

A Calmer Way In. Come back to a conversation later, once tempers have cooled, and speak about money and time rather than blame. Gambling Helpline Aotearoa takes calls at 0800 654 655 around the clock, and free text on 8006 reaches the same service.

Before the Fun Turns Into a Chore

Catching these signs early keeps a hobby from turning into a habit you resent. Setting a deposit limit or taking a pause is the first step, and both sit in your account menu. Gambling is entertainment with a cost, never a way to earn.

If a few of these sound familiar, that is reason enough to slow down.

Playing longer than you planned, again and again
Chasing a loss with a bigger deposit
Borrowing money or dipping into savings to play
Hiding your play from your partner or family
Feeling restless or irritable on days you skip
Playing to escape a bad mood, not for fun
Spending money set aside for bills or food

Is a Short Pause Enough, or Do You Need a Full Stop?

Just for Tonight. A time-out shuts your account for the hours or days you pick. Open the account menu, select the pause and confirm it; the block applies straight away and lifts on its own when the period ends.

How Long Should a Full Stop Last? Self-exclusion closes your access for a long stretch, and it cannot be undone early. You set it in your account, and it covers your whole account until the chosen period runs out. Plan a span you can live with.

Closing the Door in Your Account. New Zealand keeps no national exclusion register, so the casino account is where you exclude yourself. Once the block sits on your account, the helpline can talk through what comes next and where else to find support.

Protection, Not Guesswork

Check the Answers Before You Choose

Most players worry one casino's exclusion covers every other one, and it does not here.

If I self-exclude at one casino, does it block the others?+

No, it does not. New Zealand keeps no national self-exclusion register, so an exclusion you set in a casino account stays inside that one account. Nothing is shared with other operators unless you approach them yourself.

How do I shut my account for good rather than pause it?+

Message the support team and say plainly that you want the account closed permanently. They confirm the request, and a permanent closure removes your access instead of waiting a set time. Reopening later is not automatic.

Who can I ring if someone in my family gambles too much?+

The Gambling Helpline Aotearoa takes calls from relatives as well as players, day and night. Trained people listen first, then point you to the right local service. You do not need the person's permission to call.

Can I fix a deposit limit from my phone?+

Yes. The mobile version of the site carries the same account section as the desktop one, so a limit can be set wherever you happen to be. Pick the amount before you start playing, not midway through a session.

Once I self-exclude, can it be undone before the end?+

No. An exclusion holds for the whole period you chose and cannot be cut short, which is exactly why it works. Choose the length when you set it, because it stays fixed until that period runs out.

What happens if I want a different limit next week?+

Return to the same section of your account and adjust the figure there. Your earlier choice is not locked away, so it can be revised once you have thought the new amount through. Keep the number tied to money you can spare.
