Timely exclusion support
Wearable and venue components are intended to help an agreed exclusion plan work at moments of risk.
Beyond the Bet
Technology for safer choices—not surveillance.
BannedBand is developing a wearable-supported gambling-harm prevention system designed to connect exclusion, timely support and recovery tools.
Development status: BannedBand is a concept and pilot-stage system. Features described as proposed are not claims of current deployment, clinical validation, Māori endorsement or legal compliance.
Designed around people and whānau
Tools usable now
The toolkit demonstrates an impulse-delay timer, savings visualiser and local data choices. Demo information stays in your browser.
Māori governance
Any Māori pilot should establish collective governance, decision rights and tikanga-based safeguards with Māori partners before data collection.
Data minimisation by design
The safest unnecessary data is data never collected. Pilot design should document every data field, purpose, authorised user, location, retention period and deletion route.
- No sale of participant data
- No unrelated advertising or profiling
- No reuse for new purposes without a new decision
- Meaningful access, correction, export and deletion pathways
