Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At fromntoz.co.nz, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only – not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
If you're under 18 or the legal age in your jurisdiction, you are not permitted to gamble. Gaming is intended for adults only.
Age Verification
By accessing LeoVegas or any online gaming platform through fromntoz.co.nz, you confirm that:
- You are at least 18 years of age (or the applicable legal gambling age in New Zealand)
- You are legally permitted to gamble in your jurisdiction
- You understand the risks associated with gambling
If you are under the legal age to gamble, please do not access gaming platforms.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone else, it may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing losses – continuing to gamble to recover money lost
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling longer or with more money than intended
- Losing interest in hobbies or social activities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties or debt problems
- Gambling to escape stress, depression, or other emotional problems
If you experience any of these warning signs, it's important to seek help immediately.
