Participating in online casino activities at Casino Days should be enjoyable and safe, especially for Kiwi players. It’s crucial to view gambling as entertainment, not a financial solution. We’ve integrated various tools and offer advice to keep your online gaming responsible and fun.
Play Safely and Responsibly
Remember that gambling at Casino Days is a leisure activity, not a way to earn money. Monitoring your gambling time and expenditure is crucial for maintaining control, particularly in New Zealand’s unique gaming landscape.
When Does It Stop Being Fun?
No matter whether you enjoy games like slots or live casino games, consider these questions to assess if your gambling might be problematic:
- Am I spending more than I can afford?
- Am I prioritising gambling over spending time with friends and family?
- Am I playing during work hours?
- Am I gambling to escape stress?
- Am I spending too much time gambling?
- Am I staying up until the early hours of the morning to gamble?
- Am I angry when I lose?
- Am I chasing my losses?
Answering ‘yes’ to any of these suggests it’s time to rethink your approach for a more enjoyable and responsible gaming experience at Casino Days.
Self-Assessment Test
Concerned about your gambling habits in New Zealand? We recommend our Self-Assessment Test, designed to provide insights into your gambling behaviour and highlight potential issues. If the results from the questionnaire point to a potential problem or concern, consider pausing gambling altogether or contacting our Customer support team for further guidance.
Key Strategies for Responsible Gambling:
- Set Financial Limits: Choose a budget that fits your financial situation before playing.
- Manage Your Time: Establish a specific time limit for your gambling sessions.
- Avoid Chasing Losses: Stop playing if you reach your spending limit.
- Mind Your Emotional State: Don’t gamble when feeling down or upset.
18+ Only
In New Zealand, individuals under 18 are forbidden to open an account with Casino Days. We require proof of age and reserve the right to suspend accounts until verification.

Tools and Methods for Self-Regulation
To help you stay in control of your gaming experience, Casino Days offers tools that can help you control how often you play casino games.
Time Out
Are you worried about how often you gamble? If you are, then you should try our Time Out option. This feature lets you pause your gaming activities for a duration of your choice – a day, a week, or a month. During this time, you won’t be able to log into your Casino Days account. Access will only be restored after the selected period has ended.
Making regular use of the Time Out function is a proactive way to regulate your gaming activities and maintain a disciplined approach to online gambling.
Self-Exclusion
Should your gaming activities adversely affect your personal life, financial stability, or those around you, our ‘Self-Exclusion’ feature is available. You can activate this option by reaching out to our customer support team.
Choosing to self-exclude will lock you out of your account for the duration you specify, and you will not receive any marketing communications from us during this period. To regain access to your account after the self-exclusion term, you must contact our customer support for a review process before your account can be reactivated.
