Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At andersonrhodesgallery.co.nz, we believe that online casino gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting the wellbeing of our visitors.

Online casino gaming in New Zealand is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. By accessing casino websites through our links, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement. If you are under 18, please do not proceed.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover lost money
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Lying about the extent of your gambling involvement
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or negative emotions
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos offer built-in tools to help you gamble responsibly. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders during play about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period (hours, days, or weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from a casino for a predetermined period or permanently
We encourage you to use these tools whenever available on the casinos you visit.
