Responsible Gambling at Wiz Slots
Wiz Slots operates under Gibraltar remote gambling licences RGL 001 and RGL 014, issued to BV (Gibraltar) Limited and overseen by the Government of Gibraltar's licensing framework. That licence comes with an obligation we take seriously: giving every player at Wiz Slots Casino the tools to keep their play enjoyable, controlled and firmly within their own limits. This page sets out, plainly and without sales talk, how those tools work, how to switch them on, and where to find independent help if pokies ever stop feeling like fun.
Everything below applies to every account on wizslots, whatever device you use to sign in. None of it is optional small print buried in terms and conditions. It is the practical, everyday side of playing responsibly, written for anyone who wants to check it before they deposit, not just after something has gone wrong.
What Safer Gambling Tools Are For
The tools on this page exist to put a ceiling on the parts of play that are easy to lose track of: money, time and impulse. Pokies are designed to be immersive, and Wizslots Casino's own catalogue leans heavily on fast-paced Megaways and cluster-pays mechanics that can make a session feel shorter than it actually was.
Limits are not a punishment and they are not a sign that something is already wrong. Think of them the way you'd think of a budget for a night out: set before you need it, so the decision is made by you at your calmest, not by the moment.
A deposit limit stops your card being charged past a figure you chose in advance. A loss limit tracks what you're actually down over a period, which matters because winning and re-betting can quietly erase a deposit limit's usefulness. A time limit or reality check interrupts the session itself, which is the one thing your bank statement can never do.
Self-exclusion sits apart from the rest. It's not a brake, it's a full stop, and it's there for anyone who has decided that a pause from Wiz Slots Casino, short or long, is the right call right now.
None of these tools require you to explain yourself. You don't need a reason to set a $50 weekly deposit cap any more than you'd need a reason to set a spending limit on any other card. The support team at wizslots will action a request without asking why, because the "why" is yours alone.
Setting A Limit On Your Account
Limits are set from your account dashboard once you're logged in. The process is the same whether you're capping deposits, losses, or session length, and takes a couple of minutes.
- Sign in to your Wiz Slots account and open the account or "Responsible Gambling" section from your profile menu.
- Choose the type of limit you want: deposit, loss, wager, or session time.
- Pick a period, daily, weekly or monthly, and enter the amount or duration.
- Confirm the change. Limits that lower your cap apply immediately.
- If you want to raise a limit or remove it, submit the request and allow the cooling-off period below to pass before it takes effect.
- Contact live chat if you'd rather have support set or adjust a limit on your behalf.
One detail worth knowing before you set anything: reducing a limit is instant, but increasing one is deliberately delayed. That gap is a genuine safeguard, not a technical glitch, and it exists precisely so a bad night can't undo a decision made on a good day.
Safer Gambling Tools Available At Wiz Slots
Every tool below is free, reversible where noted, and available to any verified account holder. Fees, minimums and other figures referenced elsewhere on wizslots (such as the NZ$10 minimum deposit) are unaffected by which of these you choose to use.
| Tool | What it does | How to switch it on |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit limit | Caps how much can be added to your balance in a day, week or month | Set in Account > Responsible Gambling; lower limits apply instantly |
| Loss limit | Stops play once your net losses reach the figure you chose for the period | Set alongside deposit limits in the same account panel |
| Reality check / time reminder | Pops up during play to show elapsed session time and prompt a break | Enabled from the account settings menu, adjustable per session length |
| Time-out / cool-off | Locks your account from play for a short, fixed break without closing it | Requested via account settings or live chat |
| Self-exclusion | Suspends your account from all play for a set or indefinite period | Requested through support; verified ID required to reinstate access |
Self-Exclusion And How It Works
Self-exclusion is the strongest tool wizslots offers, and it's built to be hard to reverse casually, on purpose. When you self-exclude, your account is closed to deposits, pokies and any promotional contact for the period you select.
Choosing a period
You can request a defined break or an indefinite one. Short breaks give you room to step back without a permanent decision; indefinite exclusion is there if you already know that's what's needed.
What happens to your account
Marketing emails and bonus offers stop immediately. Any pending withdrawal is still processed under the standard payment terms, since self-exclusion is about stopping further play, not withholding funds that are already yours.
Getting back in
Once a self-exclusion period ends, the account is not reopened automatically. You'll need to contact support directly and confirm, in writing, that you want access restored. This deliberate friction is a safeguard, not an oversight.
If you share a household with someone who plays and you're worried about their own gambling rather than yours, wizslots support can talk you through the options available, though any account-level restriction can only be actioned by the account holder themselves.
Recognising The Warning Signs Of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling rarely announces itself. It tends to show up as small shifts in behaviour that are easy to explain away in the moment, and only look significant in hindsight.
- Chasing losses by depositing again shortly after a losing session, hoping to "win it back"
- Spending more time or money on pokies than you'd planned, repeatedly, despite meaning to stop earlier
- Feeling irritable, anxious or low when you try to cut down or take a break from play
- Hiding deposits, session length or losses from a partner, family or friends
- Borrowing money, selling belongings, or dipping into money set aside for bills to keep playing
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, loneliness, or a difficult day rather than for entertainment
- Neglecting work, study, sleep or relationships because sessions are running longer than intended
One or two of these on their own aren't necessarily cause for alarm. A pattern of several, especially chasing losses combined with secrecy, is the point at which it's worth using a limit tool above or speaking to one of the support services listed next.
Where To Get Help Locally In New Zealand
If pokies at Wiz Slots Casino, or anywhere else, have stopped feeling like entertainment, free and confidential support is available right now, independent of any casino.
The Gambling Helpline NZ is staffed around the clock on 0800 654 655. It's free to call from anywhere in New Zealand, confidential, and not connected to Wiz Slots or any other operator. You can also reach them by text or online chat if a phone call feels like too much on a given day.
Support isn't limited to the person playing. Family members, partners and friends affected by someone else's gambling can call the same line and get guidance on how to have the conversation, what support exists for them, and what practical steps help.
Wiz Slots is strictly an 18+ platform. Age verification and identity checks, using a passport or ID plus proof of address, are required before any withdrawal is processed, and accounts found to belong to anyone under 18 are closed. If you're supporting a young person who may be gambling, the Gambling Helpline can point you toward age-appropriate resources as well.
None of this replaces professional advice. If gambling is affecting your finances, mental health or relationships, a GP or counsellor can refer you to further support alongside the helpline.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set a deposit limit on my Wiz Slots account?
Log in, open the Responsible Gambling section of your account dashboard, choose "deposit limit," pick a daily, weekly or monthly period, and enter the amount. Lower limits apply straight away; raising or removing one goes through a cooling-off period first.
Can I reverse a self-exclusion once I've set it up on wizslots?
Not immediately. Self-exclusion runs for the full period you selected, and once it ends, you must contact support directly and confirm in writing that you want the account reopened. It doesn't reactivate automatically for anyone's safety, including yours.
Is the Gambling Helpline NZ free and separate from Wiz Slots Casino?
Yes. The Gambling Helpline on 0800 654 655 is a free, confidential, independent service, not run by Wiz Slots or any other casino. It's available around the clock, and family members affected by someone else's gambling can call it too.
What's the difference between a loss limit and a deposit limit?
A deposit limit caps what you can add to your balance in a period. A loss limit caps your net losses over that same period, so it still protects you if wins are re-bet rather than withdrawn, which a deposit limit alone can't catch.
Do I need a reason to ask Wiz Slots to lower or remove a limit?
No. Support will set, lower or remove any limit on request without needing an explanation. Lowering a limit or self-excluding takes effect immediately; raising a limit or ending self-exclusion is deliberately delayed as a built-in safeguard.
