Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At thebigdaybook.co.nz, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Spin Casino NZ is designed for fun and enjoyment. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

In Aotearoa New Zealand, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gaming activities. If you are under 18, we ask that you do not access Spin Casino NZ. We are committed to protecting younger people from the potential harms of gambling.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do any of these apply to you? If so, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or whānau
• Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Lying to others about the amount of time or money spent gaming
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or difficult emotions
• Failing in repeated attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, please reach out for support.

Self-Help Tools

Spin Casino NZ provides several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe to stay within your budget.
• Loss Limits: Establish a limit on how much you are willing to lose during a gaming session.
• Session Time Limits: Set a timer to remind you when your allocated gaming time is ending.
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been gaming and how much you've spent.
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from your account for a period you choose if you need a break from gaming.

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain a healthy gaming experience.
