Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Wedding Link, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only – never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble, please do so responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

Online gambling in New Zealand is strictly for adults aged 18 years and over. By accessing and using casino services, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction. We take underage gambling seriously and maintain strict age verification procedures.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognise these warning signs in yourself or others:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about time and money spent
• Neglecting family, work, school, or social commitments
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts for excitement
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Experiencing financial, legal, or relationship problems due to gambling

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable online casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you're willing to lose in a session or period
• Reality Checks: Receive notifications during gaming sessions to remind you of time and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling platforms
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if needed

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
