Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At New City PS, we believe that online gaming should only ever be viewed as entertainment—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Pokies and casino games are games of chance where the house always maintains a mathematical edge. Please gamble responsibly and 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 this website and participate in gaming activities. We take age verification seriously and comply with all Australian gambling regulations. If you are under the legal age, please do not proceed.
