Last updated: June 2026 — James Wilson, Mylgp
At Mylgp (mylgp.org.nz), we believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment, never a source of stress, financial hardship, or harm. Our team, led by James Wilson, is dedicated to promoting safe and responsible gambling practices for every player in New Zealand. This page exists because we genuinely care about your wellbeing, and we want to make sure you have the knowledge and tools to stay in control at all times.
Responsible gaming is not just a legal obligation for us. It is a core value. If you ever feel that gambling is becoming a problem, we encourage you to read this page carefully, reach out for support, and use the tools available to you.
Healthy gambling starts with setting clear boundaries before you begin. Spinbet and other reputable online casinos operating in New Zealand offer a range of built-in tools to help you stay within those boundaries. We strongly encourage all players to take full advantage of these features.
You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly within your casino account. These limits cap how much money you can add to your account over a set period. Once a limit is applied, it takes effect immediately, protecting you from impulse decisions.
Reality check notifications remind you how long you have been playing. A simple on-screen alert can help break the immersive nature of casino gaming and give you a moment to decide whether to continue or stop.
If you feel you need a short break, a cooling-off period allows you to temporarily suspend your account for a set number of days or weeks. During this time, you will be unable to log in or place any bets.
For players who need a more serious intervention, self-exclusion allows you to block yourself from accessing a casino platform for an extended period, typically from six months to several years, or even permanently. Contact the casino's customer support team directly to activate this option. In New Zealand, you can also register with national self-exclusion schemes to block access across multiple platforms simultaneously.
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. Recognising the warning signs early is the most important step toward getting help.
Ask yourself the following questions honestly. If you answer yes to two or more, we encourage you to seek support or use the self-exclusion tools available to you.
You are never alone. The following organisations offer free, confidential support for anyone affected by problem gambling. Whether you are looking for advice, counselling, or immediate crisis support, help is available right now.
Problem Gambling Foundation of New Zealand provides free helpline support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can call 0800 654 655 or visit their website for live chat and counselling services. The Lifeline New Zealand helpline is also available on 0800 543 354 for anyone in emotional distress.
Gambling is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. Mylgp does not promote gambling to minors under any circumstances. All casinos reviewed on this site are required to implement robust age verification processes before allowing any player to deposit or wager real money. If you share a device with younger family members, we recommend using parental control software to block access to gambling websites.
Gambling is meant to be fun. The moment it stops feeling that way, it is time to pause and seek help. James Wilson and the entire Mylgp team are committed to keeping the New Zealand gambling community safe, informed, and protected in 2026 and beyond. Please gamble responsibly.
