Responsible Gambling at Casino Ripper
At Casino Ripper, we are committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment for all our players in New Zealand. We believe that gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a way to make money or escape personal problems. This page outlines our responsible gambling policies, the tools available to help you stay in control, and where to find support if you need it.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
Casino Ripper takes responsible gambling seriously. We actively promote safe gaming practices and comply with all applicable regulations governing online gambling in New Zealand as of June 2026. Our team is trained to identify signs of problem gambling and to assist players who may be experiencing difficulties.
Know the Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. It is important to recognise the warning signs early. You may have a gambling problem if you:
- Spend more money on gambling than you can afford to lose
- Borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling
- Feel anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Lie to family or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling
- Chase losses by continuing to gamble to win back money you have lost
- Neglect work, family, or personal responsibilities because of gambling
- Use gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or other problems
If any of these signs apply to you, we strongly encourage you to use the tools available on our platform or seek professional help immediately.
Responsible Gambling Tools
Casino Ripper provides a range of tools to help you manage your gambling activity. You can access these tools at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much money you add to your account. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period before it comes into force.
Loss Limits
Restrict the maximum amount you can lose within a defined time period. This helps you stay within your budget and avoid chasing losses.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions. Once your time limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out of your account.
Reality Checks
Enable regular on-screen reminders that show how long you have been playing and how much you have spent or won during your session.
Cool-Off Period
Take a short break from gambling by activating a cool-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, or up to 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place bets.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need a longer break, you can self-exclude from Casino Ripper for a period of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account will be suspended, all marketing communications will be stopped, and you will not be able to reopen your account until the exclusion period has ended. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed.
To activate self-exclusion or any of the above tools, please contact our support team at [email protected] or use the live chat available 24/7 on our website.
Protecting Minors
Casino Ripper strictly prohibits gambling by anyone under the age of 18. We verify the age and identity of all players during the registration process. If we suspect that a minor is attempting to use our platform, we will immediately suspend the account and conduct a full investigation.
We also encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gambling sites. The following tools can help:
