Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At bcmarryme.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to play, please do so responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

Online gambling in New Zealand is only available to players aged 18 years and older. By accessing LeoVegas and other online gaming platforms through our site, you confirm that you meet this legal age requirement.

If you are under 18, please do not proceed. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Be aware of these warning signs:

• Chasing Losses: Trying to recover money lost by gambling more
• Hiding Gambling Activity: Keeping your gambling secret from friends or family
• Loss of Control: Unable to stick to set time or money limits
• Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
• Borrowing Money: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling
• Mood Changes: Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Increased Gambling: Needing to bet more to achieve the same excitement
• Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
• Relationship Conflicts: Arguments with loved ones about gambling habits
• Financial Problems: Debts, missed bills, or financial instability due to gambling

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

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable online casinos, including LeoVegas, offer responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
• Time Limits: Set session duration alerts to remind you when you've been playing for a certain time
• Reality Checks: Pop-up reminders during play to help you stay aware of time and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account
• Account Cooling-Off Period: Take a break from gambling for a set period

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits.
