Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the movies or playing sports. It is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses or borrow money to gamble.
At onzamap.co.nz, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices and supporting our players' wellbeing.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to gamble online. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and may request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal age, please do not use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Constantly thinking about gambling or planning the next gambling session
- Needing to gamble with larger amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Chasing losses by continuing to gamble to recover money lost
- Lying to family, friends, or professionals about the extent of gambling
- Jeopardizing relationships, education, career, or financial opportunities due to gambling
- Using gambling as a way to escape problems or relieve stress
- Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or restlessness when attempting to reduce gambling
- Hiding gambling activity or using secret accounts
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Inability to control the amount of time or money spent gambling
If you experience any of these signs, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Features
Most reputable online casinos, including partner sites accessed through onzamap.co.nz, offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set period
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
- Time-Out: Take a temporary break from gambling for a set period (hours, days, or weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for an extended period (typically 6 months or longer)
We encourage you to use these tools if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic.
