Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Spin Casino Online Pokies NZ, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Online pokies and casino games are games of chance with a built-in house edge. Always gamble within your means and only spend what you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to access and use our services in New Zealand. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and take this responsibility seriously. If you are under 18, please do not proceed.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills)
• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win money back
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about how much time or money you spend gambling
• Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts to get the same excitement
• Unsuccessful attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling
• Gambling to escape problems, relieve stress, or cope with negative emotions
• Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities
• Borrowing money or getting into debt because of gambling
• Experiencing mood swings, irritability, or anxiety related to gambling
• Loss of interest in hobbies and activities you once enjoyed

Self-Help Tools

We provide the following tools to help you gamble responsibly:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose before you stop playing
• Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications reminding you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your account

Use these tools to maintain control and keep your gambling within safe limits.
