Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online pokies should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In New Zealand, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gambling activities. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all local regulations. By using this website, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills)
- Spending more time or money gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions
- Lying about the extent of your gambling involvement
