Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At All At Sea Online, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and there are no guaranteed wins.

Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification & Legal Requirements

Online gambling in New Zealand is only available to individuals aged 18 years and over. By accessing any online casino through our site, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement.

All licensed online casinos operating in New Zealand are required to verify your age and identity before allowing real-money play.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do any of these apply to you? If so, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money you've lost
• Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
• Hiding gambling activities from friends, family, or partners
• Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other negative emotions
• Neglecting work, study, family, or social commitments due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
• Failed attempts to cut down or quit gambling
• Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling

If you recognise any of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features

Responsible online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
• Reality Checks: Pop-up reminders during play to check how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Session Time Limits: Automatically end your session after a set duration
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily ban yourself from accessing a casino for a set period (days, months, or years)
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if needed

We recommend using these tools as part of a responsible gambling strategy.
