Responsible Gambling

SweepsSphere.com supports safer play. Gambling should be entertainment—not a way to make money or recover losses.

Know the signs

  • Spending more time or money than planned, chasing losses, or hiding play.
  • Borrowing money, missing bills, or feeling anxious/irritable when not playing.
  • Gambling impacting work, study, relationships, sleep, or mental health.

Practical tools to stay in control

  • Set a budget and a time limit before you start; take regular breaks.
  • Use your bank’s budgeting features and consider blocking gambling transactions where available.
  • Avoid gambling when upset, tired, or using alcohol/drugs.
  • If you need account limits (spending/time) or a break, contact us and we’ll help apply the restriction you request.

Time-out and self-exclusion

If you want to pause or stop playing on SweepsSphere.com, request a time-out or self-exclusion by emailing contact@sweepssphere.com or calling +64 21 589 734. Include the email/username on the account and the duration you want. We may ask for verification to protect your account.

During self-exclusion, you should not attempt to open new accounts. We’ll take reasonable steps to prevent access to the excluded account and will limit marketing where required/possible.
