Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming is the principle of engaging in gambling as a form of entertainment, with full awareness of the associated risks and personal limits. At grandsmondial-nz.com, operated by grand-mondial-casino-new-zealand, we are committed to supporting players in making informed, conscious decisions about their gambling activity and offer a range of tools and support services to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

    • Neglecting work, family, or social obligations due to gambling
    • Chasing losses or borrowing money to gamble
    • Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not gambling
  • Self-Assessment Test:
    • Do you gamble longer than you plan to?
    • Have you lied to family or friends about your gambling?
    • Do you use gambling to escape personal problems or stress?
    • Have you unsuccessfully tried to cut down or stop gambling?
    • Are you experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling?
    If you answered "yes" to any of these, we strongly encourage you to seek support or use our responsible gaming tools.
