Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Safe Gaming

At indiginz.co.nz, we believe that online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting our players in New Zealand.

Age Verification

Online gambling in New Zealand is strictly regulated. You must be 18 years of age or older to play online pokies. We verify all players' ages during registration and comply with the Gambling Act 2003. If you're under 18, please do not register or attempt to play.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Using gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or other difficult emotions
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Feeling irritable or anxious when trying to cut down or stop gambling
• Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Experiencing relationship conflicts related to your gambling
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools

We provide several responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose over a specified period
• Time-Out: Take a break from your account for a set period (24 hours to 6 weeks)
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Permanently close your account if you need to stop gambling

Access these tools through your account settings at any time, or contact our support team for assistance.
