Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Safe Play

At korupak.co.nz, we are committed to promoting a safe, secure, and enjoyable environment for all Kiwis who engage in online gaming. Gambling should always be treated strictly as a form of leisure and entertainment—never as an investment strategy, a reliable income source, or a means to settle debts. Winning is based entirely on chance, and there are no guaranteed outcomes. We urge all our visitors to stay in control, set strict boundaries, and only wager money they can comfortably afford to lose.

Strict Age Restrictions: 18+

Underage gambling is strictly prohibited and illegal. In New Zealand, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gambling (or 20+ when entering land-based casinos). We mandate that every operator we feature utilizes rigorous Know Your Customer (KYC) identity checks to confirm players' ages. If you share computers or mobile devices with children or minors, we strongly recommend implementing parental control software—such as Net Nanny or CyberPatrol—to restrict access to gambling platforms.

Recognizing the Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Review the checklist below to assess your current relationship with gambling:

• Chasing Losses: Returning to play immediately to win back money you have lost.
• Financial Strain: Spending money allocated for essential expenses (rent, bills, groceries) on gambling, or borrowing money to bet.
• Loss of Control: Failing to adhere to time or monetary limits you previously set for yourself.
• Concealment: Lying to whānau, partners, or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling.
• Emotional Preoccupation: Feeling anxious, irritable, depressed, or distracted when you are unable to play.
• Neglecting Responsibilities: Skipping work, study, or family commitments to gamble.
• Escapism: Gambling as an emotional escape from stress, loneliness, or personal difficulties.

If you recognize any of these behaviours in yourself or a loved one, it is vital to take proactive steps immediately.

Player Safety & Self-Help Tools

Reputable online casinos offer a variety of responsible gaming tools built directly into player account dashboards. We encourage you to configure these controls as soon as you create an account:

• Deposit Limits: Cap the amount of money you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly.
• Loss and Wager Limits: Prevent further betting once a predefined threshold of losses has been reached.
• Reality Checks & Session Timers: Receive on-screen pop-ups informing you of how long you have been logged in and your net spend.
• Time-Out / Cool-Off Periods: Temporarily suspend access to your account for periods ranging from 24 hours to a few weeks.
• Self-Exclusion: Block access to your accounts across one or multiple operators permanently or for an extended period (typically 6 months to 5 years).
