Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At People of the Sun, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. We're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting our players in New Zealand.
Age Verification
Online gambling in New Zealand is only available to players who are 18 years of age or older. All players must verify their age during registration. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request additional documentation to confirm your age and identity.
If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or gamble on our platform.
