Responsible Play & Gambling Harm Support (NZ)
SweepsPlayWorld.com supports safer play. If play stops being fun, take a break and reach out for help. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 111.
Practical ways to stay in control
- Set limits: decide a spend limit and a time limit before you start.
- Take regular breaks: set a timer; avoid chasing losses or “winning it back”.
- Track your play: review your activity and keep play separate from essential expenses.
- Avoid playing when stressed: tiredness, alcohol/drugs, or strong emotions can reduce control.
- Protect minors: keep login details private and use device-level parental controls.
Spending controls & breaks
Tip: If you can’t stick to a limit, consider a longer break or self-exclusion.
If you need help setting limits, taking a timeout, or understanding your options, contact us at contact@sweepsplayworld.com.
Self-exclusion or account closure
- Email contact@sweepsplayworld.com from your registered email address with your request (self-exclusion or closure) and your username.
- Tell us the length you want (if self-excluding). We will confirm once the restriction/closure is applied.
- During self-exclusion, access may be restricted and marketing communications can be stopped on request.
- If you believe someone else is using your account, request a lock immediately.
