Problem gambling is most commonly associated with gaming machines. Approximately one in five regular gamblers on gaming machines experience problem gambling at some point in their lives. The Department is able to help operators by providing information about problem gambling awareness training for staff and harm prevention and minimisation requirements under the Gambling Act 2003. If you are an operator who requires information please contact gaming.compliance@dia.govt.nz Operators may also find it useful to take a look at our Internal Guidelines for Harm Prevention, Harm Minimisation and Responsible Gambling Pamphlets and signs for pubs, clubs and casinos All pubs and clubs with gaming machines and casinos must have problem gambling pamphlets and signs in their venues from 1 April 2005. Regulation 11 of the Gambling (Harm Prevention and Minimisation) Regulations 2004 requires this information to be displayed and available to players. The Department has developed a pamphlet and a sign to help gambling operators meet these requirements. Operators can design their own pamphlets and signs using information contained in the pamphlet and sign (below) as a template or they can print the pamphlet and sign from these links.
