Age Verification Policy

1) Eligibility (20+ / Legal Age)

newonlinegaming.com is intended for adults only. You must be at least 20 years old, being the minimum age we apply for access to casino-style social gaming in New Zealand under the Gambling Act 2003. If you do not meet the applicable age requirement, you must not access or use the site.

2) Age-Gating and Verification Methods

• Age gate: we may ask you to confirm your date of birth and/or affirm you meet the applicable age requirement before allowing access to certain features.
• Risk-based checks: we may request additional verification when required by law, when account activity indicates potential underage use, or to protect our community.
• Third-party services: we may use reputable identity/age verification providers to help validate age information.

3) Information We May Collect for Verification

Depending on the verification method, we may collect or process:

• Name, date of birth, and contact details (email/phone).
• Government-issued ID details and/or an image of an ID (where legally permitted), plus a selfie/liveness check to confirm the ID belongs to you.
• Address and limited device/network signals (e.g., IP address) to help prevent circumvention and fraud.

We limit verification data to what is reasonably necessary, use it for age/identity and safety purposes, and retain it only as long as needed for those purposes and legal obligations.

4) If We Suspect or Confirm Underage Use

• We may restrict features, suspend access, or require immediate verification.
• If underage use is confirmed, we will deny access and may terminate the account.
• We may take steps to prevent re-registration, including device/account-level controls where permitted.
• Where required, we may report misuse to relevant authorities or respond to lawful requests.

5) Parental and Guardian Guidance

We encourage parents/guardians to monitor online activity and use device/app controls to help prevent minors from accessing adult-oriented sites. If you believe a minor has provided information to us or is using the site, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

6) Your Responsibilities

You agree not to misrepresent your age, not to allow others (including minors) to use your account or device to access the site, and to provide accurate information if verification is requested. Failure to comply may result in denial of service or account termination.
