Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At nzvideoproduction.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming. Online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always maintain control over your gaming activities.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access and use Sky City Online pokies services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not participate in any gaming activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a problem with gambling:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Failing to reduce or stop gambling despite attempts to do so
- Using gambling to escape problems or emotional distress
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
- Jeopardising relationships, education, or career due to gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online gaming platforms, including Sky City Online, offer tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a gaming session
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log you out after a set period of time
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long and how much you have been playing
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing the platform
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to support your responsible gaming practices.
