Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Spinbit Casino, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Online pokies and casino games are games of chance. The house always has a mathematical edge, and there is no guaranteed way to win.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to access and use Spinbit Casino. In New Zealand, the legal age for gambling is 18 years. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time.
If you are under 18, please do not use our service. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites.

If you recognise these signs, please seek help immediately.
