Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At Ride of the Legends NZ, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble, please do so within your means and always maintain control.
Age Verification
In New Zealand, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gambling. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under 18, please do not access our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to reduce gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Continuing to gamble despite negative consequences
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools
We encourage all players to use the following responsible gaming tools:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit per day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of losses you are prepared to accept
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period without closing your account
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from access to our platform
These tools are available in your account settings. We strongly recommend using them as part of your gaming strategy.
