Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At wedding-link.co.nz, we believe that online casino gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always set limits before you play.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming in New Zealand is only available to individuals aged 18 years and older. By accessing any casino through our website, you confirm that you meet this legal age requirement. If you are under 18, you must not gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling to escape negative feelings such as anxiety, guilt, or depression
- Neglecting work, school, family, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing relationship or financial problems because of gambling
- Lying about the time or money spent gambling
- Jeopardising educational, career, or personal opportunities
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, it's important to seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Session Time Limits: Restrict the length of time you can play in one session
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered

Take advantage of these tools if you feel your gambling is getting out of control.
