Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming is a fundamental principle at rizk-casino, available on rizk-review.com, dedicated to fostering a safe and enjoyable environment for all players in New Zealand.

We are committed to supporting players by providing tools, resources, and professional assistance to help maintain control over gambling activities at all times.

• Borrowing or selling to gamble: Using loans or selling assets to fund gambling activities.
• Emotional distress: Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble.

Self-Assessment Test

Consider the following questions to evaluate your gambling habits:
