1. About Lucky Nugget
Lucky Nugget operates as an online gaming platform offering pokies, table games, live dealer games, and other wagering products to eligible players. All monetary transactions on this platform are conducted in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) unless otherwise stated. Lucky Nugget is committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent gaming environment consistent with the expectations of New Zealand players and applicable local law.
Lucky Nugget operates in compliance with New Zealand gambling-related legislation, including the Gambling Act 2003 and the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 (AML/CFT Act). We cooperate with the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) and the Gambling Commission New Zealand as the relevant regulatory authorities governing gambling activities in New Zealand.
2. Eligibility
2.1 Age Requirement
You must be at least 18 years of age to register an account and participate in any real-money gaming activity on Lucky Nugget. This requirement is non-negotiable and strictly enforced. It is illegal for any person under the age of 18 to gamble in New Zealand. We reserve the right to request age-verification documentation at any time, and accounts suspected of being held by minors will be suspended immediately pending investigation.
2.2 Residency and Jurisdiction
Lucky Nugget's services are intended for players located in jurisdictions where online gambling is not prohibited. It is your responsibility to ensure that online gambling is lawful in your location before registering. We do not accept players from jurisdictions where online gambling is explicitly prohibited under local law.
2.3 One Account Per Person
Each player is permitted to hold only one registered account on Lucky Nugget. Duplicate accounts are strictly prohibited. If we detect multiple accounts belonging to the same individual — identified by name, address, email, IP address, payment method, device fingerprint, or any other identifying information — we reserve the right to close the duplicate accounts, forfeit any associated balances, and void any bonuses claimed across those accounts.
2.4 Personal Use Only
Your account must be used solely for personal, recreational gambling purposes. You may not use our platform on behalf of a third party, operate an account for commercial gain beyond normal player winnings, or use automated tools, bots, or scripts to interact with our games or systems.
3. Account Registration and Management
3.1 Registration Process
To open an account, you must provide accurate, complete, and current personal information, including your full legal name, date of birth, residential address in New Zealand, a valid email address, and contact phone number. You agree to keep this information up to date. Providing false, misleading, or incomplete information may result in account suspension or permanent closure.
3.2 Account Security
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. Lucky Nugget will never ask for your password via email or phone. You agree to:

Lucky Nugget is not liable for losses arising from your failure to secure your account credentials.
3.3 Account Verification (KYC)

- Proof of address (utility bill or bank statement dated within the last three months).
- Proof of payment method.
- Source of funds documentation for large.
We may request these documents at any time, including before processing a withdrawal. Failure to provide satisfactory documentation within a reasonable timeframe may result in account suspension and reporting to relevant authorities where legally required.
3.4 Account Closure
You may close your account at any time by contacting [email protected]. Any withdrawable balance will be returned to you through your preferred payment method, subject to completion of any outstanding verification requirements. We may close or suspend an account at our discretion, including where we believe these Terms have been violated, where unusual activity is detected, or where we are required to do so by law.

Withdrawal requests are typically processed within 24 to 72 hours of submission, subject to completion of KYC verification. Withdrawal methods must match your deposit method where possible. Minimum and maximum withdrawal amounts apply and are detailed in the cashier section.
We reserve the right to carry out additional checks before processing withdrawals, particularly for large amounts. Withdrawals may be delayed where we have reasonable grounds to suspect fraud, money laundering, or a breach of these Terms.

5. Bonuses and Promotions
5.1 General Bonus Terms
Lucky Nugget offers bonuses and promotions from time to time, including welcome bonuses, free spins on pokies, reload bonuses, and loyalty rewards. All bonuses are subject to the specific terms published alongside each offer, including wagering requirements, minimum deposit thresholds, eligible games, and expiry dates. In the event of any conflict between specific promotion terms and these general Terms, the specific promotion terms shall prevail.
5.2 Wagering Requirements
Bonuses awarded to your account must be wagered a specified number of times before the bonus funds or any associated winnings can be withdrawn. The applicable wagering requirement for each promotion will be clearly stated. Not all games contribute equally to wagering requirements — pokies typically contribute 100%, while table games, live dealer games, and certain other products may contribute at a reduced rate or not at all. Please review the specific promotion page for details.
5.3 Bonus Abuse
Lucky Nugget takes a strong stance against bonus abuse. This includes, but is not limited to, opening multiple accounts to claim the same promotion, exploiting technical errors or loopholes, using betting patterns designed to circumvent wagering requirements, or colluding with other players to exploit promotions. Where bonus abuse is detected, Lucky Nugget reserves the right to void the bonus, cancel any associated winnings, and close the relevant account(s) without prior notice.
5.4 Bonus Expiry
Bonuses and associated free spins expire if not used within the timeframe specified in the relevant promotion. Expired bonuses will be removed from your account automatically without notice or compensation.
5.5 Right to Modify or Withdraw Promotions
Lucky Nugget reserves the right to amend, suspend, or withdraw any promotion at any time without prior notice. We will endeavour to provide reasonable advance notice where practicable. Players who have already opted in and met the conditions of a promotion prior to any modification will not be adversely affected.

Lucky Nugget is committed to complying with all applicable New Zealand anti-money laundering and counter-financing of terrorism legislation, including the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009.

We are legally prohibited from disclosing to you that such a report has been made.
7.3 Account Freezing
In cases where we reasonably suspect financial crime, we may freeze your account and suspend withdrawals without prior notice while an investigation is conducted.

In circumstances where a malfunction results in an erroneous display of a win, that win will be declared void.
