Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At bethevoice.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. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to access Roobet casino or any gambling services in New Zealand. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or place bets. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs, you may have a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses – trying to win back money you have lost
- Gambling with money intended for essentials (rent, food, bills)
- Hiding your gambling activity from family or friends
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Spending more time and money on gambling than planned
- Borrowing money to gamble
- Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Feeling guilty or ashamed about your gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or quit gambling

- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)

- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you have been playing
- Session Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions
