Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At GTMechtronix, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.
Age Verification
All players must be 18 years of age or older to access our services. This is a legal requirement in New Zealand and helps protect young people from the potential harms of gambling. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a problem with gambling:
- Chasing losses by continuing to gamble to recover money lost
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding gambling activities or lying to friends and family about how much you gamble
- Being unable to stop or cut down on gambling despite wanting to
- Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Constantly thinking about gambling or planning the next gambling session
- Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
Self-Help Tools
We provide several tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders during play to help you track time and spending
- Session Timeouts: Take mandatory breaks from gambling after a set period of time
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from our platform if you feel you need to step back
To access these tools, visit your account settings or contact our support team for assistance.
