Player Safety

Responsible Gaming

At Cosmo Casino, we believe gaming should always be enjoyable, safe, and within your control. We are fully committed to responsible gambling practices and provide comprehensive tools to help every New Zealand player stay in control.

Our Commitment to You

Gambling is meant to be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. Cosmo Casino is dedicated to ensuring that our platform is used responsibly and that we actively protect our players from harm.

We comply with all New Zealand Gambling Commission requirements and are certified by eCOGRA for responsible gambling practices. Our platform features a comprehensive suite of player protection tools, all accessible from your account dashboard.

Awareness

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Recognising the signs early is the first step toward getting help. If you or someone you know experiences any of the following, please seek support immediately.

  • Spending more money or time gambling than intended
  • Gambling to recover losses ('chasing losses')
  • Neglecting work, family, or social commitments due to gambling
  • Lying to family or friends about gambling habits
  • Feeling irritable or anxious when not gambling
  • Using gambling as a way to escape problems or negative feelings
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
  • Feeling unable to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
