Responsible Gaming
At Spinzen Casino (spinzen.co.nz), we want online gaming to remain enjoyable, positive, and under your control. Responsible gaming means playing for entertainment, understanding the risks, and using practical tools to help you stay within limits.
This page explains how to gamble responsibly, how to recognise signs of harm, and what support options are available in New Zealand in 2026.
Play for entertainment — not as a way to make money
Casino games involve chance and the outcomes are random. There is no guaranteed strategy to win in the long run. Please only play with money you can afford to lose and treat any winnings as a bonus rather than an expectation.
Set personal boundaries (limits)
Limits are one of the most effective ways to keep gaming safe. Consider setting rules for yourself before you start playing:
- Deposit limits: decide the maximum amount you will add to your account over a day/week/month.
- Loss limits: set a cap on how much you are willing to lose in a session or period.
- Session/time limits: set a timer and take breaks. Avoid long sessions.
- Wager limits: limit stake size to reduce volatility.
If you are unsure where to start, choose an amount and time that would not affect your essential expenses (rent/mortgage, utilities, food, transport) even if you lose the full amount.
Take breaks: time-out and cool-off
If play stops feeling fun or you notice you are chasing losses, a break can help you reset. Use a time-out (short break) or a longer cool-off period if you need more distance from gambling. During a break, avoid gambling-related content and consider talking to someone you trust.
Self-exclusion (longer-term protection)
If gambling is no longer under control, self-exclusion is a stronger measure. Self-exclusion is designed to help prevent access for a defined period. If you choose this option, we recommend also taking these steps:
- Remove stored payment methods where possible and use bank controls if available.
- Unsubscribe from gambling marketing communications.
- Install website/app blocking tools on your devices.
- Ask your support network for help maintaining the exclusion.
For assistance with account restrictions, contact Spinzen Casino customer support through the help options available on spinzen.co.nz.
Know the warning signs
Gambling harm can develop gradually. Consider seeking support if you notice any of the following:
- Spending more time or money than planned
- Chasing losses or increasing bets to “get back” money
- Borrowing money, selling items, or using credit to gamble
- Hiding gambling from family/whānau or friends
- Neglecting work, study, or relationships
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed about gambling
Protecting minors and age verification
Spinzen Casino is intended for adults only. Gambling by minors is not permitted. If you share a device with others, we recommend:
- Keeping your login details private
- Using device-level parental controls
- Disabling password auto-save on shared browsers
- Monitoring payment methods and account access
Tips to stay in control
- Set a budget and a time limit before you start playing.
- Take regular breaks and avoid playing when tired or upset.
- Do not gamble under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Avoid “all-in” thinking — small losses can lead to risky decisions.
- Balance gaming with other activities (sport, social time, hobbies).
