Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At Kiwi Treasure Casino, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only – never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in New Zealand. If you're under the legal age, we encourage you not to participate in any gambling activities. If you're aware of underage gambling, please report it to the relevant authorities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses – trying to win back money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
- Gambling with more money than you planned
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or manage emotions
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most online casinos offer built-in responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you're willing to lose during a session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Time-Out (Cool-Off Period): Take a break from gambling for a set period (hours, days, or weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms
We strongly encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
