Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Pra Amazons, we believe online pokies should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose and always play within your means.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to use our website and play online pokies. This is a legal requirement in New Zealand. By accessing Pra Amazons, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. We take player safety seriously and reserve the right to verify age and request identification.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of these warning signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover what you've lost
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Neglecting work, study, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
