Responsible Gaming

Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or recover debts. If you choose to play at Kiwi Treasure Casino, do so only with money you can afford to lose, and set clear limits before you start.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years old, or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction if that age is higher. In New Zealand, the legal age for land-based casino gambling is 20. Always confirm the age rules for your territory before playing. Peppapiglive.co.nz requires all players to meet the minimum age and may request identity documents to verify your age at any time. Underage gambling is illegal and taken seriously.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. You may need support if you recognise any of the following:

• Chasing losses — returning to try to win back money you have lost.
• Hiding gambling activity from family or friends, or lying about time and money spent.
• Spending more money or time than you planned.
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble.
• Neglecting work, study, family, or social commitments because of gambling.
• Feeling anxious, guilty, or irritable when trying to cut down.
• Gambling to escape stress, low mood, or other problems.
• Repeated unsuccessful attempts to stop or control gambling.

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable online gambling operators offer tools to help you stay in control. Use them before you start a session:

• Deposit limits — set a maximum amount you can add to your account per day, week, or month.
• Loss limits — cap the amount you can lose in a given period.
• Reality checks — receive timed reminders about how long you have been playing.
• Session time limits — set a maximum duration for each gambling session.
• Self-exclusion — block your access to your account for a set period, from 24 hours to permanent closure.
• Cool-off periods — take a short break from gambling without permanently losing your account.

Check the responsible gambling section of your operator’s website for these options. If you cannot find them, contact customer support directly.
