Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At tyingtheknot.co.nz, we believe that online gaming through platforms like Roobet should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gaming outcomes are based on chance, and the odds always favour the house. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to participate in online gaming. By accessing Roobet or any gaming platform through our site, you confirm that you meet this requirement.
We take underage gambling seriously. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or play.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately:
- Spending more time and money on gaming than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gaming activity or lying about how much you gamble
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Using gaming to escape problems, stress, or difficult emotions
- Neglecting work, study, relationships, or other responsibilities
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gaming
- Being unable to stick to limits you've set for yourself
- Family or friends expressing concern about your gaming habits
Self-Help Tools
Most gaming platforms, including Roobet, offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose in a given period
- Session Time Limits: Receive alerts after a set period of play
- Reality Checks: Periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block your account to take a break from gaming
Use these tools proactively. They are there to protect you.
