Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At TV2Murder, we believe online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. If you're struggling with your gambling habits, support is available.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to participate in online casino gaming in New Zealand.
If you are under the legal age, please do not gamble. If you are aware of a minor gambling online, please report it to the relevant authorities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of these warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Spending more time gambling than intended
- Hiding gambling activities from family or friends
- Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Feeling irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent on gambling
- Unable to stick to gambling limits or budgets
If you recognize any of these signs in your own behavior, please seek help immediately.
