Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At e-bex.co.nz, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we're passionate about providing quality gaming content and affiliate information, we're equally committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices.
Age Verification
Online gaming is strictly for adults only. In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. We take age verification seriously and encourage all users to ensure they meet legal requirements before engaging with any gaming platform.
If you are under the legal age, please do not proceed with any gaming activity.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:
- Chasing losses — continuing to gamble to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the time and money spent
- Feeling unable to stop or control gambling urges
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Neglecting work, study, family, or relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools & Limits
Many online gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control. Consider using:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend per day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on how much you're willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Regular reminders of time spent and money wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently ban yourself from gaming platforms
- Time Limits: Restrict the duration of your gaming sessions
These tools are most effective when used proactively. Set limits before you start playing and stick to them.
