At Golden Crown Casino, we are committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment for all our players in New Zealand.

This page outlines our responsible gambling policies, the tools available to help you stay in control, and the support resources available to New Zealand players.

We are dedicated to:
- Preventing underage gambling
- Providing transparent information about odds and game mechanics
- Offering tools that help players manage their gambling activity
- Supporting players who show signs of problem gambling
- Cooperating with recognised responsible gambling organisations in New Zealand
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 or time gambling than you can afford
- Find it difficult to stop or cut back on gambling
- Gamble to escape stress, anxiety, or personal problems
- Lie to family or friends about your gambling habits
- Borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling
- Feel restless or irritable when not gambling
- Chase losses in an attempt to win back money
- Neglect work, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
If any of these signs apply to you, we strongly encourage you to use the tools available on our platform and to seek professional support.
Responsible Gambling Tools
Golden Crown Casino 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 cooling-off period of at least 24 hours.
Loss Limits
Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a defined period. This helps prevent chasing losses and keeps your gambling within a budget you are comfortable with.
Session Time Limits
Limit the amount of time you spend gambling in a single session. You will receive a notification when your session limit is approaching, and your session will end automatically when the limit is reached.
Reality Checks
Enable regular pop-up reminders that show how long you have been playing and how much you have spent or won during your current session. These reminders help you stay aware of your gambling activity.
Cool-Off Period
If you feel you need a short break from gambling, you can activate 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 to your account or place any bets.
Self-Exclusion
If you need a longer break, you can self-exclude from Golden Crown Casino for a period of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account will be suspended, and you will not receive any promotional communications from us. To request self-exclusion, please contact our support team at [email protected].
We also cooperate with third-party self-exclusion services available in New Zealand. If you have self-excluded through an external service, please notify us so we can take appropriate action on your account.
Preventing Underage Gambling
Golden Crown Casino 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 have reason to believe that a player is under 18, we will suspend their account immediately and conduct a full review.
If you share a device with minors, we strongly recommend:
- Never saving your login credentials on shared devices
- Logging out of your account after every session
- Using parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites
Recommended parental control tools include:
