Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At casabedsappliances.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.

Age Verification

In New Zealand, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gambling activities. We take age verification seriously and require all users to confirm they meet the legal age requirement before accessing our services. If you are under 18, please do not proceed.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop quickly. If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount you gamble
• Gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
• Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or using savings to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Many online gaming platforms offer tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you can lose during a gaming session
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders during play about the time and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming platforms
• Session Timers: Set automatic session end times

We recommend using these tools to maintain healthy gaming habits and stay within your personal limits.
