Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to approach it with realistic expectations and maintain control over your gaming habits.
Remember: the house always has a mathematical advantage. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming in New Zealand is restricted to individuals aged 18 years and over. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to participate in gambling activities. If you are under the legal age, please do not use online casino services.
All reputable online casinos require age verification before allowing access to gaming platforms.

If you identify with any of these signs, help is available.
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gaming Features

- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to remind you when you've been playing for a set period
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders during play to check your gaming duration and spend
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a casino platform to prevent access
- Account Cooling Off: Take a break from gaming for a set period (typically 24 hours to several weeks)
Use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits.
