Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Peach and Poker, we believe that casino gaming should be fun, exciting, and above all, entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. If you find yourself gambling to make money or recover losses, it's time to seek help.
We're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting our players in making informed choices about their gaming habits.
Age Verification
In accordance with New Zealand law, all players must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online casino gaming. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
If you're under 18, please do not attempt to create an account. If you're aware of a minor gambling online, please report this to the relevant authorities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do any of these warning signs apply to you? If so, it may be time to take action:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Lying to friends or family about your gambling habits
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Gambling with money needed for essentials like rent or food
- Loss of interest in hobbies or activities you previously enjoyed
If you've identified with several of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.
