Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Safe Gaming

At Street Legal Festival, we believe online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only – never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting our New Zealand players.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to access and use our services. New Zealand law requires all online gambling operators to verify player age. If you're under 18, please do not proceed. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it's time to seek help:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
• Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to cut back or quit
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or difficult emotions
• Borrowing money to gamble or covering gambling debts
• Neglecting work, study, relationships, or hobbies due to gambling
• Failed attempts to control or stop gambling
• Gambling with money needed for essentials like rent or food
• Family members expressing concern about your gambling

Self-Help Tools & Controls

We provide responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on how much you can deposit
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period
• Reality Checks: Receive regular pop-up reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you need a break from gambling
• Take a Break: Pause your account for a set period without losing access to your funds
