Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At mrrt.co.nz, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and the outcome of every game is determined by chance.
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set realistic expectations about your entertainment budget.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access and use live dealer casino services in New Zealand.
If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to register or gamble. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Lying to family, friends, or therapists about the extent of gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, utilities, medicines)
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop gambling
- Continuously increasing bet amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
- Repeatedly unsuccessfully trying to control or reduce gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, anxiety, or depression
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Jeopardizing relationships or career opportunities because of gambling
If you experience any of these signs, please seek help immediately.
