Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

Online pokies should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any entertainment activity, gambling comes with risks. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

If you choose to play online pokies, set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it. Remember: the odds always favour the house.

Age Verification

All players using jrspromo.co.nz and participating online casinos must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction). We take age verification seriously and comply with all New Zealand gambling regulations.

If you are under 18, please do not use this website or gamble online. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling from family, friends, or partners
• Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to cut down or stop
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Lying about the extent of your gambling activities
• Experiencing financial difficulties because of gambling
• Feeling a need to gamble with increasing amounts to get the same excitement

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you gamble responsibly:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day, week, or month
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping play
• Session Limits: Set time limits for individual gaming sessions
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling on specific platforms or across multiple casinos

Use these tools to maintain control over your gambling. If you cannot stick to your limits, this is a warning sign that you should seek professional help.
