Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Spin Casino NZ, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we aim to provide an enjoyable experience, it's important to understand the risks involved and to play within your means.

If you find that gaming is affecting your life negatively, help is available, and seeking support is a sign of strength.

Age Verification

Gaming is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older in New Zealand. By accessing Spin Casino NZ, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement.

We take age verification seriously to protect young people from potential harm.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you experience any of the following signs, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gaming activities from family, friends, or partners
• Spending more time and money on gaming than you intended
• Feeling anxious or irritable when you're not gaming
• Using gaming to escape problems, stress, or difficult emotions
• Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities because of gaming
• Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gaming
• Being unable to reduce or stop your gaming despite wanting to
• Lying to others about how much time or money you spend gaming
• Experiencing mood swings or depression related to gaming

If you recognise any of these signs in your own behaviour, reaching out for support is the right step.

Self-Help Tools

Spin Casino NZ provides several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose within a chosen timeframe
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been gaming and how much you've spent
• Session Time Limits: Automatically end your gaming session after a set duration
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your account

These tools are designed to help you play responsibly. We encourage you to use them to stay in control.
