Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Paxable, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. We're committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices for all our users in New Zealand.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming in New Zealand is strictly for individuals aged 18 years and over. All players must verify their age before accessing any gaming platforms. It is illegal for minors to gamble, and we take this responsibility seriously. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or play.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of these warning signs in your behaviour, please seek help immediately:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Neglecting work, study, relationships, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood swings, anxiety, or irritability related to gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape stress, depression, or other emotional problems
- Feeling a constant urge to gamble with increasing amounts
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos offer built-in tools to help you manage your gaming responsibly. Consider using these features:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Betting Limits: Cap the size of individual bets to help control spending
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders during play to help you track time and spending
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a casino to prevent access
- Time-Out Period: Take a mandatory break from gaming for a set duration
