Onboard, pair a band, then explore all four tabs and settings. Demo data — nothing is tracked.
Sentra turns your self-exclusion into a supported journey — a calm daily companion to your BannedBand, not a tracker watching over you.
Before anything else, here's exactly how Sentra treats your data.
Hold your BannedBand close to your phone. Make sure it's charged and unlocked.
A reason to look back on during the hard moments. You can change this any time.
Choose one or two people Sentra can quietly notify if you flag a hard day. Opt-in only — nothing happens without your say-so.
Your band is paired and Sentra is ready. Every day from here is a day you can be proud of.
Pick how you're feeling and I'll tailor today's support. Your last 6 check-ins have trended steady.
The hardest seven days — done.
A full month of momentum.
47 of 100 days — keep going.
Unlocks at 365 days.
Free, confidential support from the Gambling Helpline Aotearoa.
