Responsible Gambling at Yabby Casino
At Yabby Casino, we are committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment for all our players in New Zealand. We believe that gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a way to make money or escape personal problems. This page outlines our responsible gambling policies, the tools available to help you stay in control, and where to find support if you need it.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
Yabby Casino takes responsible gambling seriously. We actively promote safe gaming practices and comply with applicable regulations to protect our players. Our team is trained to identify signs of problem gambling and to assist players who may need help. We continuously review and improve our responsible gambling measures to ensure the highest standards of player protection.
Know the Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling becomes a problem when it negatively affects your finances, relationships, work, or mental health. Ask yourself the following questions:
- Do you spend more money on gambling than you can afford to lose?
- Do you gamble to escape stress, anxiety, or depression?
- Have you lied to family or friends about how much you gamble?
- Do you chase losses by continuing to gamble after losing?
- Has gambling caused problems in your relationships or at work?
- Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to stop gambling?
- Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to fund gambling?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use the tools and resources available on this page.
Responsible Gambling Tools
Yabby Casino provides a range of tools to help you manage your gambling activity. You can access these tools at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much money you add to your account. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a cooling-off period of at least 7 days.
Loss Limits
Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a defined period. This helps you stay within your budget and avoid chasing losses.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions. You will receive a notification when your session limit is reached, and the session will end automatically.
Reality Checks
Enable periodic reminders that display how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered. These pop-up notifications help you stay aware of your gambling activity.
Cool-Off Period
Take a short break from gambling by activating a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place bets. This option is ideal if you feel you need a temporary pause.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that you need a longer break, you can self-exclude your account for a period of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account will be suspended, and you will not receive any promotional communications from us. To request self-exclusion, contact our support team at [email protected].
Please note that self-exclusion is a serious measure. If you choose permanent self-exclusion, your account cannot be reopened under any circumstances.
Protecting Minors
Yabby Casino strictly prohibits gambling by anyone under the age of 18. We verify the age and identity of all players during the registration and withdrawal process. If we suspect that a minor is attempting to use our platform, we will immediately suspend the account and conduct a full investigation.
We encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gambling sites. The following tools can help:
