Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At frankphotography.co.nz, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Roobet and all casino games are games of chance with a built-in house edge. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to participate in online casino gaming. We take underage gambling very seriously and are committed to preventing access by minors. By accessing Roobet through our affiliate links, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in New Zealand.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Be aware of these warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (food, rent, bills)
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Lying about the extent or frequency of gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling
- Unable to cut back or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Using gambling to escape from problems or negative emotions
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, help is available.
