Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At anytimefoods.co.nz, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment, similar to going to the movies or playing sports. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself gambling to make money or recover losses, it's time to seek help.

Age Verification

All gambling activities reviewed on this site are strictly for individuals aged 18 years and over, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under the legal age, please do not participate in any gambling activities.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognize any of the following behaviors in yourself? If so, you may have a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
• Gambling with money needed for essentials like rent, food, or bills
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce or stop gambling
• Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
• Lying about how much time or money you spend on gambling
• Neglecting work, school, family, or personal relationships due to gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
• Experiencing mood swings or depression related to gambling
• Feeling a need to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement

If you've ticked any of these boxes, please reach out for support immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable online casinos offer built-in tools to help you gamble responsibly:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a session or time period
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling sites
• Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period (hours, days, or weeks)
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if needed

Always use these tools before you need them, and don't hesitate to activate them if your gambling starts to feel out of control.
