Your Wellbeing Matters

Safe Play & Responsible Gaming

TuwaPetumaini is 100% free entertainment — no real money involved. We believe in promoting healthy gaming habits for all our New Zealand players.

🛡️

TuwaPetumaini is Not a Gambling Site

All games on TuwaPetumaini use virtual credits only. There is no real money wagered, no real money won, and no prizes of real-world value. Our platform is purely for entertainment and does not constitute gambling under New Zealand law.

Healthy Gaming Habits

Tips for Mindful Play

Even though TuwaPetumaini is free entertainment, we encourage all players to practise healthy gaming habits.

⏱️

Set Time Limits

Decide how long you'll play before you start and stick to it. Use your device's screen time tools to help manage your gaming sessions.

🧘

Play for Fun

Our games are designed for relaxation and entertainment. If you feel stressed or frustrated, take a break and return later when you're feeling fresh.

👨‍👩‍👧

Keep Tamariki Safe

TuwaPetumaini is for adults 18+ only. If you share devices with children or young people, ensure they cannot access this platform.

🔄

Take Regular Breaks

Step away regularly. Gaming should be one of many leisure activities — not the only one. A walk on the beach or time with whānau does wonders.

💬

Talk to Someone

If gaming — or real-money gambling in other contexts — is becoming a concern, reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or professional service.

🧠

Know the Difference

TuwaPetumaini games use virtual credits with no real value. Real-money gambling is a separate activity with different risks and regulations.

Am I Gaming Responsibly?

Although TuwaPetumaini involves no real money, it's always good to reflect on your gaming habits. Ask yourself:

Am I playing for fun, or out of habit or boredom?
Is gaming taking up time I had planned for other activities?
Would I feel uncomfortable if others knew how much time I spend gaming?
Am I using gaming to escape stress or difficult feelings?
Do I think about real-money gambling after playing social games?

If you answered yes to any of the above, it may be worth reviewing your gaming habits or speaking to someone about your wellbeing.
