Responsible Gaming

Gambling is meant to give joy to its users so that everyone can have a fun and carefree time. However, there are times when players lose control and start spending more time and money on their entertainment, at such times the fun ends. It is at such moments that you need to think about taking a break or about reasonable limits on your playing time.

We at OnlinecasinosNZ.nz promote and respect the rules of responsible gaming. All online casinos sites we cooperate with and publish on our platform can set individual game time and deposit limits.

How to gamble safely

There are many organizations and websites specializing in gambling addiction and helping such people. In general, most organizations’ recommendations for safe gambling boil down to the following:

• Don’t see gambling as a way to make money, all online casinos are designed to give joy and fun;
• Play only with money you can afford to lose, never with borrowed or credited funds;
• Set money limits for your betting account in advance;
• Set your game session limits in advance;
• Never try to win back your losses in a moment of frustration;
• Do not take part in games when you are depressed or upset;
• Relate gambling to other activities;
• Do not tie up unlimited bank cards;
• Take timely breaks;

Do not take drugs, alcohol or other psychotropic substances while playing for real money.
The list could be much longer. But this list is the most basic and easiest to follow. If your game complies with these rules then you are a good player.

Principles of responsible gambling

The most basic and first thing every gambler can do is to acknowledge their problem, and that is addiction. If you realize that you have a gambling addiction, don’t be afraid to admit it and try to solve the problem with professional help. Admitting your mistakes is the first step toward solving the problem.

Analyzing and controlling your gambling time, finances and gambling habits is an extremely important aspect of understanding your problems. When you become controlled and disciplined, you will be able to look at the bigger picture and find out how much time and money you spend on your hobby. Once you have this information, you will be able to conclude.

If the problem continues to get worse, you can contact accredited organizations that help people with gambling addiction. Thanks to the resources of these organizations, you can get therapy from therapists who are sure to help you.

Remember that there is never any shame in asking for help. We encourage our clients not to be afraid and to admit their problems. The earlier you take the first step, the fewer consequences you will get.

Child Protection

Children today have unlimited access to the internet. To play on online casino platforms, all users are required to undergo an identity check that verifies the player’s age. Usually, the age of 18 or older is required to play at casinos, but in some regions, the law requires a different age.

If you have underage children and use your home computer to play online casino games, try your best to prevent children from gambling. Make sure you have a password on your computer and also take care of your parental control settings.

More resourceful children can use their parents’ details to gamble discreetly at online casinos. Avoid such cases in your family, as gambling at an early age is extremely harmful to children.

Liability of gambling companies

Every online casino that provides real money gambling in New Zealand is required to offer a full range of responsible gambling services. You can always check if there is an option to restrict play by checking the responsible gambling section or by contacting customer service. Any online casino can offer game session limits, deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusions, and more. You’ll be able to find contacts of accredited companies that can offer psychological support or therapy to improve your gambling situation.

Getting professional help

Despite all the precautions and restrictions, there are still problem gamblers out there. That’s why it’s important to acknowledge your problems and address them before it’s too late. Gambling addiction should not be underestimated and many problem gamblers lose touch with reality, often leave their family, and stop communicating with loved ones.
