Problem Gambling Foundation Wellington

The Problem Gambling Foundation of New Zealand (PGF) mission is to build healthy communities together, free from gambling harm. They offer free and confidential counselling to the gambler, their families and those affected by problem gambling. PGF’s Asian Family Services provide professional counselling and advice in Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean, Vietnamese and Thai, and Mapu Maia is PGF’s Pacific unit, providing a dedicated, culturally appropriate service for Pasifika.

Wellington has already lost 35 of its 75 pokie venues since 2004. The gaming industry argues problem gamblers make up just a tiny proportion of pokie users - one in 1000. 'That's at the severe end.

You can contact PGF and Mapu Maia on 0800 664 262, and Asian Family Services on 0800 862 342.
