Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At gtek.co.nz, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It should never be viewed as a way to make money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. The odds in all casino games favour the house, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

Gambling is only legal for individuals aged 18 years and over in New Zealand. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under 18, please do not use our platform or any casino services. All players must verify their age during account registration.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop quickly and affect your finances, relationships, and mental health. Please check yourself against these warning signs:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
• Experiencing financial difficulties or debt problems
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most online casinos, including no-KYC platforms, offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given period
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders about how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended play
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a set period (days, weeks, months, or years)
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to manage your gambling responsibly.
