Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At summerofdev.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes a concern.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to access Leo Vegas Online Pokies NZ and play on our platform. This is a legal requirement in New Zealand. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use this service. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to verify your identity at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Spending more money or time gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or getting into debt to gamble
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or cope with negative emotions
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Experiencing relationship conflicts related to gambling habits
If you recognize any of these signs in your own behaviour, it's important to seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools
We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on the amount you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling by temporarily or permanently excluding yourself from our platform
- Time-Out: Pause your account for a cooling-off period
These tools are available in your account settings. We encourage you to use them as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
