Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At Olive Leaf Interiors, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if they develop unhealthy gaming habits.
Age Verification
Online gambling in New Zealand is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age from any player. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or play on our platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of the following warning signs:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back lost money
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, study, family, or social commitments due to gambling
- Hiding or lying about your gambling activities
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or stressed when not gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Losing interest in hobbies and activities you once enjoyed
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help.
