He Ratonga Whakakorenga Petipeti

Support for people with gambling (betting) problems

He Ratonga Whakakorenga Petipeti is a support service for people who have a problem with gambling or betting. It is also for people who think they might be developing a problem.

About this service

This service aims to prevent the harm that gambling can cause to individuals and their whānau.

The focus is on supporting someone to walk away from gambling products — to avoid coming into contact with opportunities to gamble.

We can also help you navigate and access other gambling support services.

We provide this service for 1-2 days each week and can try to meet with people at a day and time that suits them best.
