Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to approach it responsibly and within your means.
At orthomed.net.nz, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting our players in New Zealand.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age to participate in online gaming on Roobet Casino. This is a legal requirement in New Zealand and is strictly enforced.
If you are under 18, please do not access or use gaming services. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor their children's online activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gaming
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Neglecting family, work, or social responsibilities due to gaming
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gaming
- Experiencing arguments with family or friends about your gambling
- Unable to stick to limits you've set for yourself
- Gambling larger amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
