Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At dilworthmotel.co.nz, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes problematic.
Age Verification
All players must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gambling in New Zealand. If you are under the legal gambling age, you are not permitted to use our services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

Self-Help Tools and Features
Most responsible online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you're willing to lose during a session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Session Limits: Set time restrictions on your gaming sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a period you choose (days, weeks, or months)
When using an online casino, review their responsible gaming settings and make use of these protective features.
