Responsible Gambling at Crusino Casino
At Crusino 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
Crusino Casino operates under strict responsible gambling principles in accordance with New Zealand's Gambling Act 2003 and applicable international standards. We actively promote responsible gambling practices and work to prevent problem gambling, underage gambling, and gambling-related harm.
Our responsible gambling framework is reviewed and updated regularly. This page was last updated in June 2026.
Know the Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. It is important to recognise the warning signs early. You may have a gambling problem if you:
- Spend more money or time gambling than you can afford
- Find it difficult to stop or cut back on gambling
- Gamble to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
- Lie to family or friends about your gambling habits
- Borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling
- Feel restless or irritable when trying to reduce gambling
- Chase losses by continuing to gamble after losing money
- Neglect work, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
If any of these signs apply to you, we strongly encourage you to use the tools available on our platform and seek professional support.
Responsible Gambling Tools at Crusino Casino
We provide a range of tools to help you manage your gambling activity. All tools can be accessed through your account settings or by contacting our support team.
Deposit Limits
You can 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 24-hour cooling-off period before it becomes active.
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
You can set a maximum session duration. Once your time limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out of your account.
Reality Checks
Enable regular on-screen reminders that show how long you have been playing and how much you have spent or won during your session.
Cool-Off Period
If you feel you need a short break from gambling, you can activate a cool-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, or up to 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place bets.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that gambling is negatively impacting your life, you can request a self-exclusion from Crusino Casino. Self-exclusion periods are available for 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 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, please contact our support team at [email protected] or use the self-exclusion option in your account settings.
Account Closure
You may request permanent account closure at any time by contacting our support team. This is separate from self-exclusion and means your account will be permanently deactivated.
Underage Gambling Prevention
Crusino Casino strictly prohibits gambling by anyone under the age of 18. We verify the age and identity of all players during the registration process. If we suspect that a player is underage, we will immediately suspend the account pending verification.
If you share a device with minors, we strongly recommend:
- Never leaving your account logged in when not in use
- Using parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites
- Keeping your login credentials private and secure
Recommended parental control tools include:
