How to Log In to Your Christchurch Casino Account
Logging in takes less than a minute once your account is set up. Follow these steps each time you want to access your account:
- Go to the login page. Click or tap the "Log In" button at the top right of the Christchurch Casino homepage. This takes you directly to the secure login screen.
- Enter your registered email address. Type the email address you used when you created your account. Make sure there are no extra spaces before or after the address, as these can cause a login error.
- Enter your password. Type your password exactly as you set it, keeping in mind that passwords are case-sensitive. If you are on a personal device, you may choose to save your password securely in your browser or password manager.
- Complete any security check. Depending on your device and account settings, you may be prompted to complete a quick verification step, such as a CAPTCHA or a one-time code sent to your registered email or mobile number.
- Click "Log In." Once your credentials are accepted, you will be taken to your account dashboard, where you can access your balance, game history, promotions, and account settings.
If your login attempt fails, do not repeatedly enter incorrect details. After a set number of failed attempts, your account may be temporarily locked as a security measure. See the section below on common login problems for guidance.
How to Register a New Christchurch Casino Account
Creating your account is straightforward. The registration process includes an age verification step, which is a legal requirement. You must confirm you are 18 or older before your account can be activated.
- Click "Register" or "Sign Up." Find the registration button at the top of the Christchurch Casino homepage and click it to open the registration form.
- Enter your personal details. You will be asked to provide your first name, last name, date of birth, and residential address in New Zealand. Your date of birth is used to confirm you meet the minimum age requirement of 18 years. Providing false information at this stage is a breach of our terms and will result in your account being closed.
- Set up your login credentials. Choose the email address you want to use for your account and create a strong password. Your password should be at least eight characters long and include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and at least one special character. Do not use a password you use on other websites.
- Confirm your email address. After submitting the registration form, you will receive a confirmation email. Open that email and click the verification link inside. This step confirms the email address belongs to you and activates your account. Check your spam or junk folder if the email does not appear within a few minutes.
- Agree to the terms and confirm your age. Before completing registration, you will be asked to confirm that you are 18 or older and that you have read and agree to our terms and conditions and responsible gambling policy. These are mandatory checkboxes, not optional.
- Set your responsible gambling preferences. Once your account is active, we encourage you to visit the responsible gambling section of your account settings to set deposit limits, session time reminders, or any other tools that help you stay in control of your play.
- Make your first deposit and start playing. With your account verified and active, you can navigate to the banking section, choose your preferred payment method, and fund your account in NZD to start exploring our games.
Age Verification: Why We Check and What to Expect
New Zealand law requires that no person under the age of 18 participates in casino gaming. At Christchurch Casino, we take this responsibility seriously. The date of birth you provide at registration is cross-referenced as part of our Know Your Customer (KYC) process.
If our automated checks cannot confirm your age from the information you supply, we will ask you to upload a copy of a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a New Zealand driver licence or passport. This is a routine step and does not mean anything is wrong with your application. Your documents are handled securely and used solely for the purpose of age and identity verification.
Until age verification is complete, certain account features, including withdrawals, may be restricted. We aim to process verification documents promptly, and in most cases this is completed within one business day.
Account Verification and KYC
Beyond the initial age check at sign-up, full account verification is required before you can make withdrawals. This process is known as Know Your Customer (KYC) and is a standard requirement across the regulated gaming industry. It protects you and helps us meet our obligations under New Zealand anti-money laundering law.
Documents We May Request
- Proof of identity: A clear copy or photo of your New Zealand passport, driver licence, or another government-issued photo ID.
- Proof of address: A recent utility bill, bank statement, or official letter showing your name and New Zealand address, dated within the last three months.
- Proof of payment method: Depending on your deposit method, we may ask you to confirm ownership, for example a photo of the card used (with the middle digits obscured) or a screenshot of an e-wallet account showing your name.
How to Submit Your Documents
- Log in to your account and go to "My Account" or "Verification Centre."
- Select the document type you are uploading.
- Upload a clear, legible image or PDF. Blurry or cropped images will be rejected and will delay the process.
- Submit and wait for confirmation. You will receive an email once your documents have been reviewed.
Completing KYC early, before you make your first withdrawal request, means you will not face delays when you are ready to cash out. We recommend completing verification as soon as your account is active.
Forgot Your Password? Here Is How to Reset It
If you cannot remember your password, resetting it takes only a few minutes:
- Go to the login page and click "Forgot Password?" below the password field.
- Enter your registered email address and submit the form.
- Check your email. A password reset link will be sent to your address. Again, check your spam folder if it does not arrive within five minutes.
- Click the reset link. This link is time-limited, typically valid for one hour, so use it promptly.
- Choose a new password. Create a strong, unique password you have not used before and confirm it by entering it twice.
- Log in with your new password. Return to the login page and sign in using your email and the new password you just set.
If you do not receive the reset email after checking your spam folder, contact our support team who can assist you directly.

Keeping Your Account Secure
Your account security is a shared responsibility. The following habits significantly reduce the risk of unauthorised access to your account and your NZD funds.
Use a Strong, Unique Password
Never reuse a password from another website. If that other site ever suffers a data breach, attackers will try the same credentials on gaming accounts. Use a password manager to generate and store complex passwords safely.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication
Where available in your account security settings, turn on two-factor authentication (2FA). This means that even if someone obtains your password, they still cannot access your account without the second verification step, which is typically a code sent to your phone or generated by an authenticator app.
Log Out After Every Session
Always log out when you have finished playing, particularly on shared or public devices. Never save your login credentials on a device that other people can access.
Watch for Phishing Attempts
Christchurch Casino will never ask for your password by email, phone, or chat. If you receive a message claiming to be from us and asking for your login details, do not respond. Report it to our support team immediately.
Keep Your Contact Details Up to Date
Your registered email address and mobile number are used for security verifications and account alerts. If these change, update them in your account settings promptly so you do not miss important communications.
Review Your Account Activity Regularly
Log in to your account periodically and check your transaction and session history. If you notice any activity you do not recognise, change your password immediately and contact our support team.
Responsible Gambling and Account Controls
Your account dashboard includes a range of tools designed to help you stay in control of your gambling. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits, apply session time reminders, or request a cooling-off period or self-exclusion at any time. These tools are there to support you, and we encourage every player to use them.
If you feel that gambling is having a negative impact on your life or the lives of those around you, please reach out for free, confidential support. The Gambling Helpline NZ is available around the clock on 0800 654 655. You must be 18 or older to hold an account with Christchurch Casino.
