Safe Gambling
Menace Responsible Gambling is at the heart of our approach to online play in Canada. Protecting customers and promoting enjoyable, controlled entertainment guides our policies, tools, and communications. Through clear information, practical account controls, and trained support staff we help players make informed choices and intervene early when play becomes risky. Our goal is to provide a safe environment where players can enjoy themselves while maintaining full control over their spending, time, and behaviour, with easy access to professional help if needed.
Player Protection Principles
Strong protections underpin our operations and the way we interact with players. Transparency about risks, clear age verification, and privacy safeguards form the foundation of our approach. Responsible marketing and honest communication ensure customers understand the nature of gambling and the limits that protect their well-being. Regular reviews of policies help us adapt to new evidence and community needs.
Tools to Manage Your Gambling Activity
Deposit and Loss Limits
Personalised deposit limits allow players to cap spending on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Loss limits can be set to control net losses over a defined period. These tools are adjustable from account settings and can be reduced instantly; increases are subject to cooling-off periods to prevent impulsive changes.
Session and Time Controls
Session reminders and time limits help maintain healthy play patterns by notifying players after set intervals or automatically ending play sessions. Players can schedule regular breaks and apply daily play-time caps to keep gaming balanced with other commitments.
Temporary and Permanent Self-Exclusion
Temporary time-outs provide short breaks from account activity, while self-exclusion options block access for longer durations or permanently if required. Support staff can assist with setting up exclusions and explain the consequences, including restricted re-registration during exclusion periods.
Recognising Signs of Problematic Behaviour
Changes in play frequency, chasing losses, neglecting responsibilities, borrowing to gamble, or emotional distress linked to play are common warning signs. Friends and family noticing sudden changes in mood or finances may also be indicators that help is needed. Early recognition allows for timely intervention and better outcomes.
Guidance for Staying in Control
Practical steps include setting strict budgets before play, using deposit and time limits, avoiding gambling while under stress or using substances, and keeping gambling separate from essential expenses. Regular self-checks, taking cooling-off periods, and discussing concerns with trusted contacts help maintain perspective and control.
Access to Professional Help and Support Organisations
When specialised assistance is needed, we provide links and contacts for Canadian support services and international organisations specialising in gambling harms. Trained counsellors, helplines, and community resources can offer confidential advice, assessment, and treatment options. Our support team will also help guide players to these services and respect any self-exclusion or treatment decisions.
