Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At Spinbit Casino Online Pokies NZ, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Online pokies and casino games should only be viewed as entertainment—a fun way to spend your leisure time. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble legally in Aotearoa New Zealand. If you are under 18, please do not access gambling services. We take age verification seriously and comply with all New Zealand gambling regulations.

If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you know, help is available:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
• Hiding or lying about your gambling activities from family and friends
• Gambling with money meant for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
• Neglecting work, study, family, or social responsibilities

• Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or control gambling
