Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At EziRider, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the movies or playing sports. It should never be considered a way to make money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always set strict limits before you play.

Age Verification

All players must be 18 years of age or older to gamble online in New Zealand. If you are under 18, you are legally prohibited from participating in any gambling activities. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognize any of these warning signs in your own behaviour? If so, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills)
• Hiding your gambling activities or lying to friends and family
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to get the same excitement
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
• Experiencing sleep problems or changes in eating habits
• Feeling a loss of control over your gambling behaviour

If you've ticked more than one of these, we strongly encourage you to reach out for support.

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gaming Features

Most online casinos, including those we recommend, offer tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before you stop playing
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Session Limits: Automatically log out after a set time to prevent extended play
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from an online casino or use national self-exclusion schemes
• Account Closure: Close your account if you need a complete break from gambling

Use these tools proactively. They are designed to protect you and keep gambling fun and safe.
