Ban Yourself

Ban yourself from pokie venues

You may not wish to receive counselling for your gambling behaviour, but simply wish to ‘ban yourself’ from gambling venues you no longer want to spend time at.

TRO can assist you with this process which can place a ban on you gambling at specific venues for a set period of time.

Details of this process can be provided by our Venue Exclusion Coordinator who can be contacted on (06) 876 6267, or email admindesk@trhor.org.nz.

You can also visit our head office at 210 Lyndon Road West Hastings to put the ban in place straight away.
