Adding to this, Lotto has only one tool to assist in betting responsibly 'Spend Limits"

I've often thought about what TAB accounts would look like with limits applied.  I suspect the Lotto limits are online only, but don't know.

There you go

Can only be online

Spend limits are changing | Lotto NZ | Lotto New Zealand

Easier to jam up your computer than tap you on the shoulder at a Lotto outlet.

I guess the TAB has an advantage, in that so much has moved to online.  About 50 outlets left and 400 pubs and clubs, which are self-service.

Whereas 1400 Lotto outlets

So the tools for problem gambling can be used more effectively.

As you say, shoulder tapping could be hazardous lol

Many who play lotto would never bet on horses, reason, no massive pools to tempt people into bothering, wouldn't think lotto is a problem, 2 draws a week,
