Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
Online pokies should only be played as a form of entertainment. They are games of chance with a built-in house edge, meaning the odds always favour the casino. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and never view online pokies as a way to earn money or solve financial problems.
Age Verification
Online gambling in New Zealand is only available to individuals aged 18 years or older. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under 18, please do not access or use any gambling services on our website.
