Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At aberrant.nz, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we offer fast payouts and exciting games, it's important to remember that all casino games have a house edge, and the odds always favor the casino in the long run.
Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In New Zealand, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all our users.
If you are under 18, please do not use our services. If you suspect someone underage is gambling, please contact the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA).
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money you've lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Spending more time gambling than intended
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
- Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress and anxiety
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when trying to cut back on gambling
- Failed attempts to stop or reduce gambling
- Feeling anxious or restless when not gambling
