Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At futuretearoha.co.nz, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online casino gaming, including at Roobet, should only be viewed as a form of entertainment with money you can afford to lose. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and set strict limits before you play.

Age Verification

In New Zealand, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gaming. If you are under 18, we urge you not to gamble. If you are aware of anyone under the legal age gambling, please report it immediately to the operator.

Important: All players are responsible for verifying their legal eligibility to play before creating an account or depositing funds.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop quickly. Be aware of these warning signs:

• Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food, medication)
• Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
• Thinking constantly about gambling or past gaming sessions
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Unsuccessful attempts to reduce, control, or stop gambling
• Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or restlessness when trying to cut back
• Borrowing money to finance gambling or pay gambling debts
• Lying about the extent or frequency of your gambling
• Neglecting relationships, work, school, or personal responsibilities due to gambling

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable online casinos, including Roobet, offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you can lose during a gaming session or time period
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders during gameplay about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Time-Out/Cool-Off Period: Take a temporary break from gaming (ranging from hours to weeks) to reassess your habits
• Self-Exclusion: Request to be excluded from gambling sites for a specified period (typically 6 months to permanent)
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely

We strongly encourage you to use these tools proactively, even if you don't currently feel you have a problem.
