Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Fusee Rouge, we believe online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to approach it responsibly and within your means.
Remember: the house always has an edge, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online gambling in New Zealand is strictly for adults aged 18 years and over. By using Fusee Rouge, you confirm that you are of legal gambling age in your jurisdiction.
If you are under 18, please do not access our site. Parents and guardians should be aware of the risks and monitor young people's online activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding or lying about the amount of time and money spent gambling
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or other essential expenses
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or relationships due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
- Experiencing relationship conflicts because of gambling habits
