Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment

At NZVirtualReelsPlay.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. While our platform involves no real money and is purely for entertainment, we believe it's important to maintain healthy gaming habits.

Entertainment Only Gaming

Healthy Gaming Tips

• Set Time Limits: Decide how long you want to play before you start
• Take Regular Breaks: Step away from the screen periodically
• Gaming is Entertainment: Remember that gaming should be fun, not stressful
• Balance is Key: Maintain a healthy balance between gaming and other activities
• Know When to Stop: If gaming stops being fun, it's time to take a break

Warning Signs

Even though our platform involves no real money, it's important to be aware of potentially problematic gaming behaviour:

• Gaming for longer periods than intended
• Feeling anxious or upset when unable to play
• Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities
• Using gaming to escape from problems or negative emotions
• Feeling the need to move to real money gambling

Self-Assessment Questions

Ask yourself these questions honestly:

• Am I spending more time gaming than I intended?
• Do I feel anxious or upset when I can't play?
• Has my gaming affected my work, studies, or relationships?
• Do I think about gaming when I'm not playing?
• Have I considered moving to real money gambling?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, consider speaking with a counsellor or calling the New Zealand Gambling Helpline.
