Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming is the principle of engaging with gambling entertainment in a conscious, informed, and controlled manner. wildz-casino, operated exclusively via wilds-nz.com, is committed to creating a secure environment that supports player well-being. Our goal is to empower you to enjoy gaming responsibly, and we offer comprehensive assistance to all players seeking support with their gambling behaviour.

  • Loss of Control: Difficulty stopping or limiting gambling, despite negative consequences.
  • Impact on Life: Neglecting work, studies, or relationships due to gambling activities.
  • Borrowing or Selling: Using borrowed money or selling possessions to fund gambling.

Self-Assessment Test

Consider the following questions to assess your gambling behaviour:

  • Do you gamble more money or for longer periods than you intended?
  • Have you attempted to reduce or stop gambling without success?
  • Do you feel restless or irritable when not gambling?
  • Has gambling caused financial, work, or relationship problems?
  • Do you hide your gambling from family or friends?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, consider using the support resources and tools provided below.
