Responsible Gaming at Lumi Casino New Zealand
At Lumi Casino, we believe that gambling should always be an entertaining and enjoyable experience. For players in New Zealand, we are fully committed to promoting responsible gaming practices that protect your wellbeing and keep the fun in focus. Our dedicated responsible gaming framework gives you the tools, resources, and support you need to stay in control at every stage of your journey with us.
Our Commitment to Safe Play in New Zealand
Lumi Casino operates under strict responsible gambling guidelines designed to align with New Zealand's standards for player protection. We take our duty of care seriously, which means we actively encourage players to set personal limits, take breaks, and seek help whenever needed. We firmly oppose underage gambling and use robust age-verification measures to ensure only adults can access our platform.
Tools to Help You Stay in Control
We provide a comprehensive suite of self-management tools directly within your Lumi Casino account:
- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you deposit to keep your spending within a comfortable budget.
- Loss Limits: Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set period, helping you avoid chasing losses.
- Session Time Limits: Receive reminders or automatic logouts when you have been playing for a defined length of time.
- Reality Checks: Get regular on-screen notifications showing how long you have been playing and how your balance has changed.
- Cool-Off Periods: Take a short break of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days if you feel you need to step away temporarily.
- Self-Exclusion: If you feel your gambling is no longer in your control, you can self-exclude for an extended period or permanently close your account.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of experience or background. Warning signs include spending more than you can afford, gambling to escape stress or anxiety, neglecting personal or professional responsibilities, and feeling unable to stop. If you recognise these signs in yourself or someone close to you, we strongly encourage you to reach out for support immediately.

Protecting Vulnerable Players
