Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At killthebill.co.nz, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While casino games can be fun and exciting, it's important to understand that the house always has an edge, and you should never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set strict limits on your time and spending, and remember that losing is a possible outcome in every game.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming in New Zealand is restricted to individuals aged 18 years or older. By accessing our website and participating in any gaming activities, you confirm that you are of legal age and meet all local requirements to participate in online gambling.
We take age verification seriously. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or gamble on any online casino platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Thinking about gambling constantly or planning your next gaming session
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Lying to family, friends, or others about the extent of your gambling
- Gambling as a way to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling activities
- Neglecting work, school, relationships, or other important responsibilities
- Continuing to gamble despite negative consequences (financial, personal, or professional)
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
If you experience any of these warning signs, it may indicate a gambling problem. Seeking help early is crucial for your wellbeing.
