Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At lingerieheaven.co.nz, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to play, please do so within your means and for fun.
Age Verification
Online gambling in New Zealand is only available to individuals aged 18 years and over. By accessing our site, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone else, it may indicate a problem with gambling:
- Spending more money or time gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about time and money spent
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other responsibilities
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Continued gambling despite negative consequences
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape from problems or difficult emotions
- Risking important relationships, job, or education opportunities
Self-Help Tools
Most online gaming platforms offer self-help features to support responsible gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a cap on the amount you're willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming accounts
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period
We encourage you to use these tools to maintain control and enjoy gaming responsibly.
