Aaron’s Gambling Struggle and Broken Exclusion | Auckland News

A man from India, Aaron, is battling a gambling addiction that’s torn his family apart after he moved to the South Island—where his regional self-exclusion at TAB NZ didn’t hold. He lost thousands, used proxy betting, and watched his wife and kids flee the country. While Entain says they take responsible gambling seriously, they won’t comment on individual cases—but confirm Aaron violated his exclusion. Aaron feels powerless, begging venues to stop him, but they say it’s his responsibility. TAB reminds venues to be vigilant, noting Aaron knowingly entered banned places. The Problem Gambling Foundation says this is all too common and calls for a national self-exclusion system with real enforcement to truly help people like Aaron.
