Responsible Gambling
Guidance for playing responsibly on Moa Slots (moaslots.com) for users in New Zealand.
Play within your limits
- Set a budget for any in-app spending and treat it as entertainment spend.
- Set a time limit (use a timer) and plan breaks.
- Don’t chase losses or play to recover money.
- Avoid playing when stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol/drugs.
- Keep balance with sleep, work, study, and relationships.
Breaks, cooling-off, and self-exclusion
If you want to take a break or stop using the platform, we can help.
Take a break
Step away for a set period (cooling-off). Remove payment methods where possible and disable notifications.
Self-exclude
Request a longer block or account closure. Contact us and we’ll confirm next steps.
Self-exclusion is account-based. If you access services from multiple devices/browsers, consider device-level or app-store restrictions as well.
Warning signs
- Spending more time or money than intended; hiding play from others.
- Borrowing money, selling items, or missing bills due to play/spend.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or low when not playing.
- Neglecting work, study, or relationships.
