Responsible Gambling

At Jackpotcity Casino, we believe that gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a means to make money. While we do not offer gambling services ourselves, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices and providing information to help our visitors make informed decisions and maintain control over their gaming habits.

Gambling as Entertainment

It’s crucial to remember that gambling outcomes are based on chance, and there’s no guarantee of winning. Treat gambling as an enjoyable leisure activity, similar to going to the movies or playing a sport. Set a budget and time limit for your gambling activities and stick to them, ensuring it doesn’t interfere with your personal, professional, or financial responsibilities.

Setting Limits

Before you start playing at any online casino, we strongly recommend setting clear limits on both the money and time you spend. Most reputable online casinos provide tools that allow you to set:

Deposit Limits: Restrict how much money you can deposit over a certain period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
Loss Limits: Limit the amount of money you can lose over a specific timeframe.
Session Limits: Control how long you can play in a single session.
Wagering Limits: Cap the total amount you can wager over a given period.

Utilising these tools can help you maintain control and prevent gambling from becoming problematic.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

It’s important to recognise the signs that gambling might be becoming an issue. These include, but are not limited to:

Gambling more than you can afford to lose.
Chasing losses to win back money.
Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home due to gambling.
Lying to family and friends about gambling habits.
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to cut down or stop gambling.
Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble.
Gambling to escape from problems or feelings of anxiety or depression.

If you or someone you know exhibits any of these signs, it’s essential to seek help.

Seeking Help and Self-Exclusion

If you feel your gambling is becoming a problem, or if you need to take a break, consider the following options:

Self-Exclusion: Most online casinos offer a self-exclusion option, allowing you to ban yourself from their services for a set period.
Professional Support: Many organisations in New Zealand provide free and confidential support for problem gambling.
