Responsible Gaming at Ripper Casino
Ripper Casino is committed to promoting responsible gaming and ensuring a safe and secure environment for all players in New Zealand. Our policies are designed to protect individuals from the risks associated with gambling and to provide support for anyone who may experience difficulties. This page outlines our principles, available protection tools, and resources for responsible gambling.
Responsible Gambling Principles
Responsible gambling is a set of social responsibility practices aimed at preventing gambling-related harm. Ripper Casino upholds these principles by offering a fair and transparent gaming environment, enforcing strict age verification, and encouraging players to gamble within their means. We believe that gambling should remain an enjoyable form of entertainment and not cause financial distress or personal harm. Players must be at least 18 years old to participate, in accordance with New Zealand law.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can negatively affect financial stability, personal relationships, and mental health. Warning signs may include spending more time or money than intended, trying to win back losses, neglecting responsibilities, or hiding gambling activities. If you or someone you know is exhibiting such behaviours, we strongly encourage the use of our support resources and self-assessment tools.
Player Protection Tools
Ripper Casino provides a variety of tools to help players maintain control over their gambling activities. These tools are accessible through your account settings and can be enabled or modified at any time. The following table summarises the main protection tools available:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| Deposit Limits | Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount you can deposit to your account. Changes to limits are applied immediately for reductions and after a cooling-off period for increases. |
| Session Limits | Restrict the duration of your gaming sessions. Once the limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out. |
| Loss Limits | Set a maximum loss limit to ensure you do not lose more than you are comfortable with during a specified period. |
| Wager Limits | Control the amount you can wager over a set timeframe to help manage your betting behaviour. |
| Self-Exclusion | Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your account. During this period, you will not be able to log in or participate in any gaming activities. |
| Time-Out | Take a short break from gambling by opting for a time-out period ranging from 24 hours to several weeks. |
Prevention of Underage Gambling
Ripper Casino employs rigorous age verification procedures to prevent underage gambling. Registration is only permitted for individuals aged 18 and above. We recommend that parents and guardians use parental control software to restrict access to online gambling platforms by minors. Any accounts found to be operated by underage individuals will be closed immediately.
Support Resources
Access to support is crucial for those affected by problem gambling. Ripper Casino provides information and links to professional organisations in New Zealand that specialise in gambling support and counselling. Players are encouraged to seek help if they feel they are losing control of their gambling activities. The following organisations offer confidential assistance:
