Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Abracadabra Cats Casino, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it comes with costs and risks. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting the wellbeing of our players.
If you choose to gamble, please do so responsibly and within your means. Only spend money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online gambling in New Zealand is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We take age verification seriously and comply with all local legal requirements.
By accessing our platform, you confirm that you are of legal gambling age in your jurisdiction. We reserve the right to request proof of identity and age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Neglecting family, work, school, or personal responsibilities
- Borrowing money to gamble or gambling with money needed for essentials
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Relationships suffering due to gambling habits
- Experiencing financial difficulties or debt
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please reach out for help immediately.
