Responsible gambling

Purpose of this page

Gambling is entertainment with a cost, and you can lose money. This page covers the age limit, warning signs of harm and where to get help in New Zealand. Rooster Bet offers casino games and sports betting, and the same care applies to both.

Age limit

You must be 18 or older to gamble. Do not use this site or the operator's pages if you are under 18.

Help in New Zealand

Gambling Helpline Aotearoa is the help service for people affected by gambling, including family and friends. You can phone 0800 654 655 or visit gamblinghelpline.co.nz.

Warning signs

These signs suggest gambling is becoming a problem:

You spend more money or time than you planned.
You chase losses by betting again to win the money back.
You borrow money or skip bills to gamble.
You hide your gambling from people close to you.
You feel anxious or irritable when you try to stop.

If two or more of these sound familiar, stop and talk to someone. The helpline above is a place to start.

Ways to stay in control

Decide a budget and a time limit before you start, and treat the budget as money already spent. Do not gamble to solve money problems or to change your mood. Take regular breaks and stop when the limit is reached.

Bonuses add conditions to your play. The brand's welcome offer carries wagering of 40x, so read the operator's terms before you accept any offer.

What this site does

The site is not the operator. It holds no accounts and cannot place limits on your play or exclude you. Questions about your account go to the operator's support, which the brand lists as 24/7 live chat and email. Its commercial relationship with the brand is described on the Affiliate disclosure page, and the conditions for using the site are in the Terms and conditions page.

New Zealand rules

The Department of Internal Affairs (Te Tari Taiwhenua) is the online gambling regulator under the Online Casino Gambling Act 2026. Offshore providers serving New Zealand on 1 May 2026 may continue only until 1 December 2026, and no licences have yet been granted.
