Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At indianfendalton.co.nz, we believe that online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling should never be seen as an investment or income source. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting our players in maintaining a healthy relationship with online gambling.
Age Verification
Online pokies in New Zealand are strictly regulated for players aged 18 years and older. By accessing our site, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and legally permitted to gamble in your jurisdiction. We use industry-standard age verification tools to ensure compliance with New Zealand gaming laws.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more money or time on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Lying to family or friends about gambling habits
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Neglecting work, study, family, or other responsibilities
- Difficulty cutting back or stopping gambling despite wanting to
- Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling
- Relationships becoming strained or damaged by gambling behaviour
Self-Help Tools
We provide several responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you can lose within a set period
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended gambling periods
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications about your gambling activity and time spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account to take a break from gambling
