Our job is to raise money for the community. We do this through exciting, innovative, and safe gaming, delivered with total integrity.
Our community benefit funding model and our established history means we are seen as a “safe” source of large scale community funding and our games are regarded as fun or a harmless flutter.
NZ Lotteries has developed a Responsible Play Code of Practice and a companion leaftlet, 'Have Fun and Play Responsibly', to ensure the credibility and integrity of its operations, games and retail network are maintained.
The Code of Practice serves as a guide for responsible service delivery by our retail network. It reflects NZ Lotteries functions as outlined in the Gambling Act which includes maximising our profits, subject to ensuring the risks of problem gambling and under-age gambling are minimised.
The Health Sponsorship Council (HSC) has developed a campaign which encourages New Zealanders to think about the harms associated with problem gambling, who is affected by problem gambling, and what the consequences are for communities. An information leaflet on problem gambling produced by the HSC can be downloaded here, or, for more information, please visit the campaign website by the link on this page.
