Responsible Gaming

Gambling at Kiwi Treasure is intended for entertainment purposes only and should never be considered a source of income or financial solution. It is essential for players to approach online pokies as a form of leisure rather than a financial strategy. Engaging in gambling activities should be done responsibly, with a clear understanding of the risks involved.

Kiwi Treasure offers a variety of responsible gambling tools designed to help players maintain control over their gaming experience. These tools include:

Deposit Limits: Players can set maximum amounts they are willing to deposit within a specified timeframe, which helps manage their gambling budget effectively.

Wagering Limits: Players can establish limits on the amount they wager on games, ensuring that their activities remain within their financial comfort zone.
Session Time Limits: Kiwi Treasure provides the option for players to limit their gaming sessions, encouraging breaks and promoting a balanced approach to online pokies.
Cooling-Off Periods: Players can opt for temporary breaks from gambling, allowing them time to reflect on their gaming habits and regain perspective.

Self-Assessment

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

Have you ever gambled to escape from stress or negative feelings?
Do you often find yourself chasing losses?
Have you ever lied to friends or family about your gambling activities?
Do you feel anxious or irritable when you are not able to gamble?
Have you noticed an increase in your gambling frequency or spending?
Do you prioritize gambling over other important aspects of your life?
Have you experienced financial difficulties due to your gambling habits?
Are you often preoccupied with thoughts about gambling, even when not playing?

Answering these questions honestly can help players recognize potential issues and take proactive steps towards responsible gambling.
