Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At fbapplications.co.nz, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes a concern.

Age Verification

Online gambling in New Zealand is restricted to individuals aged 18 years and over. By accessing and using LeoVegas Online Pokies through our affiliate site, you confirm that you are of legal gambling age in your jurisdiction. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity and age at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

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

  • Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
  • Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
  • Hiding gambling habits or lying to friends and family about the amount you gamble
  • Neglecting work, studies, or personal relationships due to gambling
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
  • Increasing the amount of money wagered to achieve the same level of excitement
  • Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
  • Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
  • Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
  • Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Player Protections

Responsible gaming tools can help you maintain control of your gambling:

  • Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount you can deposit into your gaming account
  • Loss Limits: Establish maximum loss thresholds to prevent excessive losses
  • Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders during play to help you track time and spending
  • Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block access to your account if you need a break from gambling
  • Time-Out Periods: Take a break for a specified period (days, weeks, or months)

We recommend discussing these tools with the operator's customer support team to understand all available options.
