UAGFAQ
Questions about the project and its scope.
UAG explains concepts and decision checks. It does not operate a gaming service or tell readers where to play.
What is UAG?
Understanding Adult Gaming is an independent New Zealand educational website about probability, digital safety, payments and responsible decisions around adult online play.
Is this the former University Advisory Group?
No. The former University Advisory Group was a separate, time-limited public project. This website is a new publication with no affiliation to the former group, its members or the New Zealand Government.
Does UAG operate or recommend gaming sites?
No. The site does not operate accounts, process payments, rank operators or publish affiliate links.
Can UAG tell me whether a specific website is legal or safe?
No. A specific assessment can depend on current rules, ownership, location, product terms and personal circumstances. UAG provides questions and general checks rather than a guarantee.
Why does the site discuss probability?
Misunderstanding randomness and short-term results can distort spending decisions. Probability literacy helps separate a surprising result from a reliable pattern.
What should I do if play is causing harm?
Stop the session, protect access to essential funds and seek qualified local support. Do not use more play as a way to repair a financial or emotional loss.
