Responsible Gaming

Gambling at Kiwi Treasure is intended for entertainment purposes only and should never be considered a source of income or financial solution. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming and ensuring that our players can enjoy their experiences while remaining in control.

Self-Control Tools

Kiwi Treasure provides various responsible gambling tools to help players maintain control over their gaming activities. These tools include:

Deposit Limits: Players can set limits on the amount of money they can deposit within a specified time frame.
Loss Limits: Players can establish limits on the total amount they are willing to lose during a session.
Wagering Limits: Players can set limits on the amount they can wager over a certain period.
Session Time Limits: Players can determine how long they wish to play in one session, ensuring they take breaks as needed.
Cooling-Off Periods: Players can request a temporary suspension of their account, allowing them to take a break from gaming.
Self-Exclusion Options: Players have the option to exclude themselves from accessing their accounts for a predetermined period or indefinitely, providing them with the necessary time to regain control.

Self-Assessment

To help players identify early signs of problematic gambling behavior, we encourage reflection on the following questions:

Do you find yourself gambling more than you intend?
Have you ever lied about your gambling activities?
Do you feel anxious or stressed about your gambling?
Have you ever chased losses by gambling more?
Do you use gambling as a way to escape from stress or emotional issues?
Have your gambling habits affected your personal relationships or responsibilities?
Do you feel compelled to gamble even when you cannot afford it?

Answering these questions can help players assess their gambling behavior and take necessary actions if they identify concerning patterns.

Requiring players to provide identification documents during account registration.
Regularly reviewing account information to verify age compliance.
Providing resources and information to parents about responsible gaming to help them monitor their children’s activities.

BeGambleAware: Provides information to help people make informed decisions about their gambling.
Local support services in New Zealand, including counseling and helplines, are available for players seeking assistance.
