Self-Assessment

Recognizing early signs of problematic gambling behavior is crucial for maintaining a healthy relationship with gambling. Players are encouraged to reflect on the following questions:

1. Do you often gamble longer than you initially planned?
2. Have you ever felt the need to gamble more to achieve the same level of enjoyment?
3. Do you experience feelings of anxiety or stress when trying to stop or cut back on gambling?
4. Have you ever lied to friends or family about your gambling activities?
5. Do you chase losses by gambling more after losing?
6. Have you noticed that gambling is affecting your relationships or responsibilities?
7. Do you use gambling as a way to escape from problems or to relieve boredom?

Answering these questions can help players identify if they are developing unhealthy gambling habits and encourage them to seek support if needed.

Protection of Minors

Kiwi Treasure is committed to preventing underage gambling and implements strict safeguards to protect minors. Measures include:

• Age Verification: Players must verify their age during the registration process to ensure they are of legal age to gamble.
