Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution

At indigenofficial.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage—please gamble only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to access and use our services. In New Zealand, the legal age for gambling is 18 years. We take age verification seriously and strictly prohibit access to minors. If you are under 18, please do not register or attempt to play.

• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
