Responsible Gambling

The development of online gambling, through the generalization of internet access and, lately, the presence of casino platforms on “mobile” equipment, has brought possibilities for fun and entertainment unthinkable until a few years ago. However, the risks of growing situations of dependence, addiction or addiction have also increased. The World Health Organization (WHO) itself points to gambling addiction as a serious psychological problem.
In this regard, we firmly uphold the principles of Responsible Gambling. First of all, by disclosing only casino platforms duly licensed and regulated in accordance with New Zealand law, therefore fully complying with the rules for the protection of players, including, among other measures, the possibility of self-exclusion and the Prohibition of access to minors.
In addition, we promote the best practices of responsible and safe gambling, calling on all users to respect them and, above all, to have fun in a healthy way, avoiding dangers.

How to tell if I'm developing a gambling addiction

Ask yourself, or a person who plays, the following questions. The answer should always be negative.

  • Do you need to play longer than you had determined before you played?;
  • Do you tend to gamble when you are depressed, distressed or anxious?;
  • Do you feel frustrated if you don't get the chance to play?
  • Are you playing with the conviction of recovering previous losses, and not for fun?
  • Is your professional, social and personal life being affected by gambling?
  • Have you ever considered breaking the law to support your game?

What should I do to play responsibly?

Follow a few simple rules and stick to them at all times.

  • Set a maximum budget, either per day, week or month.
  • If possible, also set a maximum time limit. An alarm clock or alarm clock can be useful.
  • Avoid gambling under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • Never gamble to solve a financial problem, pay off a debt, etc.
  • Never borrow money to gamble.
  • Don't let gambling interfere with your daily routine and responsibilities.
  • If you feel frustrated or have personal problems to solve, avoid gambling to distract yourself from these issues.

What is self-exclusion and how does it work?

Self-exclusion is the possibility that the player has to previously request, to an online casino platform or to all, that his future access to the platform be prevented and blocked in the future. The player may request a period of temporary self-exclusion or for an indefinite period of time.
