Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Petite Posy, we believe online pokies should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is not a way to make money or solve financial problems. Play only with money you can afford to lose, and always gamble for fun, not profit.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age to gamble online in New Zealand. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all players. If you are under 18, please do not use our platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling with money needed for essentials like rent, bills, or food
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Neglecting work, study, family, or other important activities
If any of these apply to you, please seek help immediately.
