Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At concar.co.nz, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online casinos should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
All online casinos featured on concar.co.nz require players to be 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction). We do not support gambling by minors in any form. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement in your location before accessing any casino platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the extent of gambling
- Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Gambling to escape problems or cope with negative emotions
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Risking important relationships or opportunities due to gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos provide tools to help you maintain control of your gambling. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a given time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you are willing to lose during a session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
- Session Limits: Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing casino platforms
- Cooling-Off Periods: Take a mandatory break from gambling for a specified period
We encourage you to use these tools when registering with any online casino.
