Gambling Responsibility

20+ Age Restriction

At Everybody’s, we’re all about good times, great vibes, and unforgettable moments. Whether you’re here for a flutter or a cheeky bet, our aim is for 100% fun and 0% stress. Let’s make sure the thrill stays light and doesn’t tip over into trouble.

Tools to Keep It in Check

Budget Wisely
Give yourself a spending limit before the first spin. Think of it like a night out budget—fun, but sensible.
Clock Your Play
Set a session timer so you can hop off after a while and enjoy other parts of your evening—maybe a no-frills catch-up with friends or some relaxed browsing around the site.
Take a Timeout
Feeling edgy? Use a self-imposed time-out or cool-off period to step back. A fresh mindset makes everything feel more fun again.
Need a Longer Break?
You can self-exclude or even close your account temporarily if you need to hit pause for a while.

Signs Things Might Be Getting Too Serious

If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to stop and regroup:

You’re ‘forgetting’ how much time or money you’ve spent.
You’re sneaking in bets during meals or while cooking—like it’s some secret mission.
You notice you’re feeling more anxious than excited.
You’re skipping plans or treats because you’d rather bet.

You’re Not On Your Own — Help Is Available

If you feel you might be losing touch with what’s fun, you’re not alone. Reach out—quiet doesn’t mean okay:

Problem Gambling Foundation – free, judgment-free support across NZ.
Gambling Helpline – available 24/7 via call or chat for confidential advice.

Wrap-Up (In Plain Language)

A bit of play for a bit of fun? That’s the sweet spot. If it ever starts to feel more like a chore—or worse, a crutch—stop. Step away. And remember: Everybody’s is about good vibes, not bad evenings. If you need a breather, that’s perfectly okay. We’re here when you’re ready to come back.

I’m not here to feed you fairy tales about “guaranteed wins” or sell you a magic betting system. I’ve spent over 6 years in the trenches of the gambling industry—testing hundreds of games, digging into NZ gambling law, picking apart RNG fairness, and tearing through bonus T&Cs line by line. Before this, I worked directly with communities hit hardest by gambling harm, so I know exactly how the industry works—and how it works you. What you’ll get from me? Straight talk, cultural insight, and reviews that call out the good, the bad, and the downright predatory. No hype, no sugarcoating, just the truth you actually need before you hit “spin.”
