Responsible Gaming at Uptown Aces Casino New Zealand
At Uptown Aces Casino, we believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable and entertaining experience. For our New Zealand players, responsible gaming is not just a policy — it is a core commitment we uphold every day. We provide a safe, fair, and transparent environment where players can set limits, seek help, and make informed decisions about their gambling habits.
Our Commitment to Safe Play
Uptown Aces Casino is dedicated to promoting responsible gambling practices across New Zealand. We understand that for a small number of players, gambling can become a problem. That is why we have invested in a comprehensive set of tools and resources designed to help players stay in control of their gaming activity at all times.
Our responsible gaming framework is built around three key principles: prevention, support, and transparency. We encourage every player to gamble responsibly by treating casino games as entertainment rather than a source of income.
Responsible Gaming Tools Available to NZ Players
- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps to manage your spending and avoid going over your budget.
- Loss Limits: Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a selected time period.
- Session Time Limits: Control how long you play in a single session to prevent excessive gambling.
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
- Self-Exclusion: Take a voluntary break from gambling for a set period — from weeks to permanently — if you feel gambling is affecting your wellbeing.
- Cool-Off Period: Temporarily pause your account for a short period without full self-exclusion.
All of these tools can be accessed directly through your account settings. Our support team is available around the clock to assist you in activating any of these features.
Recognising Problem Gambling
It is important to recognise the warning signs of problem gambling early. You may need support if you find yourself gambling more than you can afford, chasing losses, neglecting responsibilities, or feeling anxious and irritable when not gambling. If you identify with any of these signs, we strongly encourage you to use our self-exclusion tools and reach out for help immediately.

Protecting Minors

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I set deposit limits at Uptown Aces Casino?
Log in to your account, navigate to the Responsible Gaming section in your profile settings, and select your preferred deposit limit type. Changes to lower limits take effect immediately, while increases may require a cooling-off period.
How does self-exclusion work at Uptown Aces Casino NZ?
Self-exclusion allows you to voluntarily block access to your casino account for a chosen period. Once activated, you will not be able to log in or make deposits during the exclusion period. Contact our support team or use your account settings to initiate self-exclusion.
Can I re-open my account after self-exclusion?
Temporary exclusions expire at the end of the chosen period. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed. We encourage players to carefully consider the duration before activating this option.
