Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Electric Gates Auckland, we believe online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. It should only be played with money you can afford to lose, as part of a balanced lifestyle.
We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting our players in New Zealand.
Age Verification
All casino gaming in New Zealand is strictly for individuals aged 18 years and older. By accessing our site, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement. We do not permit underage gambling under any circumstances.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or other responsibilities
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Using gambling to escape stress, worry, or emotional problems
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Loss of interest in hobbies or activities you once enjoyed
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos offer responsible gaming features to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend in a day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Cap the total amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a predetermined time period
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications about how long you've been playing and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing casino accounts for a set period
We encourage you to use these tools to play within your means and maintain healthy gaming habits.
