Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At newzealandquidditch.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to play, please do so responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

Online gambling in New Zealand is only available to individuals aged 18 years or older. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. By accessing our site, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and comply with all local laws and regulations.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, it may be time to seek help:

• Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
• Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Feeling anxious or stressed about gambling debts
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
• Spending increasing amounts of time and money on gambling

Self-Help Tools

We encourage responsible players to use the following tools to manage their gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you are willing to lose before stopping play
• Reality Checks: Use reminders to check how long and how much you have been gambling
• Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling by temporarily or permanently closing your account
