Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Strategy
At bangonthai.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed as entertainment only—not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical edge, and there's no guaranteed way to win.
Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to access LeoVegas Online Pokies NZ and participate in any gaming activities. This is a legal requirement in New Zealand.
If you are under 18, please do not proceed. If you suspect someone underage is using gaming sites, please report it to the relevant authorities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling can become problematic. Be honest with yourself and watch for these warning signs:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
- Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other negative emotions
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Neglecting family, work, hobbies, or other responsibilities
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Feeling unable to control or stop gambling despite wanting to
If any of these resonate with you, help is available and it's never too late to reach out.
Self-Help Tools & Limit Setting
LeoVegas and most responsible operators offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose in a session
- Session Limits: Set time limits to prevent extended gambling sessions
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up notifications during play reminding you how long and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account
Take advantage of these tools. They're designed to support your wellbeing and responsible gaming practices.
