Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling

At CasiYou Casino, gambling is entertainment, and we want it to stay that way. We take our responsibility to players seriously, which means giving you the tools, information and support you need to stay in control of your play. This page covers everything from how to recognise warning signs to the practical limits you can set on your account right now.

New Zealand’s regulatory landscape for online gambling is evolving rapidly. The Online Casino Gambling Bill 2025, introduced on 30 June 2025, sets out to establish a licensed regime under the oversight of the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA). Whether you’re playing today or in the years ahead, the principles of safer gambling remain constant: set limits, play within your means, and reach out if something feels off.

What Responsible Gambling Means at CasiYou

Responsible gambling is not a checkbox exercise for us. It shapes how we build our platform, how we communicate with players, and how we respond when someone needs help. Our approach covers three core areas:

  • Prevention – making sure players have the information they need before problems develop
  • Self-management tools – giving you direct control over your time and spend on the platform
  • Support pathways – connecting players with professional help quickly and without judgement

Gambling should never be used as a way to make money, solve financial problems, or cope with emotional difficulties. Every game on CasiYou is designed to provide entertainment, and every outcome is determined by chance. The house always carries a mathematical edge, and no strategy or pattern of play changes that.

Know the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually, and it is not always easy to notice in yourself. Recognising the early warning signs matters. Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following apply:

  • You spend more money or more time gambling than you originally planned
  • You find yourself chasing losses, believing the next session will recover what you have lost
  • Gambling is affecting your work, study, relationships or sleep
  • You feel anxious, irritable or restless when you are not gambling
  • You have borrowed money or sold items to fund gambling
  • You hide your gambling activity from family or friends
  • You have tried to cut back but found it difficult to do so
  • Gambling feels like a way to escape stress, loneliness or other problems

If several of these sound familiar, it is worth talking to someone. The services listed at the bottom of this page are free, confidential and available around the clock.

Tools Available on Your CasiYou Account

You do not need to wait until things become serious to use our responsible gambling features. These tools are available to every registered player at any time through your account settings.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your CasiYou account. Once a limit is in place, it cannot be increased immediately. Any request to raise a deposit limit is subject to a cooling-off period to give you time to reconsider. Reducing a limit takes effect straight away.

Session Time Limits

You can set a maximum session length so that the platform will prompt you when your chosen time is up. This is a simple but effective way to stay aware of how long you have been playing.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic reminders that appear during your session to show you how long you have been playing and how your balance has changed. These pop-ups are easy to dismiss, but the information they carry is worth reading.

Loss Limits

Specify the maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a given period. Once that threshold is reached, further play is restricted until the period resets. This helps prevent chasing behaviour before it starts.

Cool-Off Period

If you feel you need a short break from gambling, you can take a temporary pause from your account ranging from 24 hours to several weeks. During a cool-off period, you cannot log in or place bets. You can request this through our customer support team at any time via live chat or email at support@casiyou.com.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a more permanent step. If you decide that you want to stop gambling at CasiYou for an extended period, you can request a self-exclusion that blocks access to your account for a minimum period you choose. Once self-exclusion is active, it cannot be reversed for the duration of the selected term. This is an option worth considering if shorter measures have not been sufficient.

To request self-exclusion, contact our support team directly. Our team will action your request promptly and without question.

Keeping Gambling Safe in Your Household

Protecting Minors

CasiYou does not permit anyone under the age of 18 to register or play on our platform. We carry out age verification checks as part of the registration process and may request identity documents before processing withdrawals. If you have reason to believe a minor has accessed our platform using your account details, please contact us immediately.

If you share a device or computer with younger family members, we strongly recommend using parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites. Some options available to New Zealand households include:

These tools operate independently of CasiYou and add a layer of protection at the device level.

Protecting Your Account

Never share your login credentials with another person. Keep your password private and do not save it on shared devices. If you believe your account has been accessed without your permission, change your password immediately and contact our support team.

Tips for Playing Safely

Safer gambling is not about playing less, it is about playing smart. A few practical habits go a long way:

  • Decide on a budget before you start and stick to it, regardless of how the session is going
  • Treat any money you put into gambling as spent, not as a potential return
  • Take regular breaks rather than playing for extended stretches
  • Avoid gambling when you are tired, stressed, upset or under the influence of alcohol
  • Do not borrow money to gamble, and do not use money set aside for bills or essentials
  • Balance gambling with other hobbies and social activities
  • Use the reality check and session limit features available in your account

Understanding the Odds

Every game on CasiYou, whether it is a slot, a table game or a live dealer title, is governed by a Return to Player (RTP) percentage. This figure tells you the theoretical average percentage of all wagered money that a game pays back to players over a very large number of spins or hands. For example, a slot with an RTP of 96% returns, on average, $96 for every $100 wagered over a long period of play.

It is important to understand that RTP is calculated over millions of game rounds and does not predict what will happen in any single session. Short-term results can vary enormously from the long-term average. No system, pattern or timing of play can overcome the statistical edge built into any casino game.

Gambling and Financial Wellbeing

If gambling has put you under financial pressure, help is available beyond just gambling support services. The following New Zealand resources can assist with budgeting and debt:

New Zealand Support Services

If you are concerned about your gambling, or the gambling of someone close to you, professional help is available at no cost. All of the following services are free, confidential and contracted by Health New Zealand to support people across Aotearoa:

Gambling Helpline

Our Legal Obligations and Your Rights

New Zealand’s Gambling Act 2003 is the primary legislation governing gambling harm prevention and minimisation in Aotearoa. The Act requires operators to take meaningful steps to identify and respond to signs of harm, and to support players who seek help. The Gambling (Harm Prevention and Minimisation) Amendment Regulations 2023, which came into force progressively throughout 2023, strengthen these obligations by setting clearer standards for harm identification and response.

The Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) administers and enforces these rules, while Health New Zealand funds the problem gambling services that support affected individuals and their whānau. A portion of operator gambling revenue is directed through a levy specifically to fund these services, ensuring that support remains free and accessible for all New Zealanders.
