Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
Online pokies and casino games should only be enjoyed as a form of entertainment. They are games of chance with built-in house advantages. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and never view gambling as a way to earn money or solve financial problems.
At corymclennanracing.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting the wellbeing of our community.
Age Verification
Online pokies and real money gambling in New Zealand are only available to individuals aged 18 years and over. By using this website, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction.
We take age verification seriously. All operators must comply with New Zealand's Gambling Act 2003.

- Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling

If you experience any of these signs, help is available.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable online pokie operators provide tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of losses you are willing to accept
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders during play sessions about time and money spent
- Session Limits: Automatically end your gaming session after a set duration
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling services
We encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
