Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Mana Social Services Trust, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble online, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online gambling in New Zealand is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction before participating in any gambling activities on Roobet or any other platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate problem gambling:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the time and money spent gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Experiencing mood swings related to gambling wins and losses
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling as a way to escape problems or stress
- Gambling alone and in secret
Self-Help Tools and Features
Most reputable online casinos, including Roobet, offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a day, week, or month
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders during gaming sessions to help you track time and spending
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms
- Cool-Off Periods: Take a break from gambling for a specified duration
We encourage you to use these tools as part of a responsible gaming approach.
