Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Spinbit Casino, we believe online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
If you find yourself gambling more than intended or experiencing negative consequences, support is available.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to play at Spinbit Casino. In New Zealand, the legal age for gambling is 18 years old. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all local regulations.
If you are under 18, please do not access our gaming services. Parents and guardians concerned about a young person's gambling should contact Problem Gambling Foundation (PGF) for advice.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you experience any of the following? Recognising these signs early can help you take action:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money
- Hiding your gambling from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Difficulty controlling the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to gamble
- Feeling irritable or anxious when not gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Lying to others about the extent of your gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, seeking help is important and the right decision.
