Responsible Gaming
Introduction to Responsible Gaming
At atozsolutionz.co.nz, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to play at Vegas Stars Casino, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Remember: the house always has a mathematical edge. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online gaming at Vegas Stars Casino is strictly available to players aged 18 years and over (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction in Aotearoa New Zealand).
We take age verification seriously. If you are under the legal gambling age, you must not access or use gaming services. Parents and guardians should use appropriate content filtering and monitoring software to prevent underage access.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of these warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or healthcare providers
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Spending increasing amounts of time or money on gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
- Lying to others about the extent of your gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or other important responsibilities
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
