Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At amuri.co.nz, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use LeoVegas Online Pokies or any gambling services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not attempt to register or access gambling services.
