Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Spinbit Casino, we believe that online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gaming is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction to use Spinbit Casino. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all New Zealand gambling regulations. By using our site, you confirm that you meet these age requirements.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you notice any of these signs in your own behaviour, it may be time to seek help:
- Gambling more frequently or with larger amounts than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties caused by gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Relationships suffering due to your gambling habits
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos, including those in our network, offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the total amount you're willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Time-Out/Cool-Off Period: Take a temporary break from gambling (hours to weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily close your account and exclude yourself from accessing the site
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits.
