Gambling block
We have a gambling block feature available to help customers plan and manage their personal credit card and debit card spend.
You may use it to plan and manage your personal credit card or debit card spend by preventing the authorisation of transactions which are registered under the merchant category code ‘Betting/Casino Gambling’.
The gambling block feature is available on all eligible personal credit cards and debit cards.
Simply login to Internet Banking and activate gambling block in the Card Services menu or call our Customer Care team on 13 22 66 between Monday to Saturday 8:00am – 8:00pm EST to activate this feature. For more information, please refer to the relevant Terms and Conditions for your credit card or debit card.
