Responsible Gaming

OBSERVE: Responsible gaming means making informed, conscious choices about play, understanding risks, and setting clear personal boundaries. It protects entertainment value and helps prevent harm.

EXPAND: crypto-games-casino provides practical tools (limits, time-outs, self-exclusion), transparent information, and access to confidential support so you stay in control.

REFLECT: If gambling stops being fun or starts to affect finances, health, or relationships, we will help you pause, adjust, or close your account and connect you with professional services.

Risk Awareness

OBSERVE

• Increasing bet sizes or gambling more frequently to "chase" losses
• Thinking about gambling outside play time; planning sessions during work/study
• Hiding gambling from family/friends; feeling guilt or irritability when not playing
• Spending more than you can afford; using funds needed for bills or essentials
• Borrowing to gamble, using credit for deposits, or selling items to fund play
• Skipping responsibilities, sleep, or meals due to gambling

EXPAND - Quick self-check (answer Yes/No)

• I spend more time or money gambling than I planned.
• I gamble to escape stress, sadness, or other problems.
• I have tried to stop or cut down but couldn't.
• I hide my gambling or lie about losses.
• Gambling has caused financial, work/study, or relationship issues.

REFLECT

If you answered "Yes" to two or more statements, consider using limits, taking a break, or contacting the support services listed below. In emergencies or if you feel at risk of harm, call 911 or 988 (Suicide Crisis Helpline in Canada).

Limits & Tools

OBSERVE

You can configure financial and time controls in your account to help you stay within your plan.

EXPAND - Deposit limits (daily/weekly/monthly)

1. Go to Account > Responsible Gaming > Deposit Limits.
2. Choose a period: Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
3. Enter a limit that fits your budget (example: Daily CA$50; Weekly CA$150; Monthly CA$400).
4. Confirm. Lowering limits applies immediately; increases may be subject to a cooling‑off period (typically 24 hours) before taking effect.

EXPAND - Time controls

• Session timer / reality check: Enable reminders every 15-60 minutes. When prompted, you can review time spent and choose to continue or log out.
• Time‑Out (short break):
  1. Go to Account > Responsible Gaming > Time‑Out.
  2. Select a pause: 24, 48, or 72 hours.
  3. Confirm. You will be logged out and unable to deposit or wager until the timer ends.

REFLECT

Choose limits that fit your disposable entertainment budget, not income. Review limits monthly and adjust downward if you approach them frequently.

Self-Exclusion

OBSERVE

Self‑exclusion is a stronger control for players who need to stop gambling for a longer period.

EXPAND - How to activate

1. Go to Account > Responsible Gaming > Self‑Exclusion.
2. Select a period: 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or Lifetime.
3. Read the key consequences, tick the acknowledgments, and confirm. We will send a confirmation email.
4. For assistance, contact Support via your account or the form below.

EXPAND - Consequences

• Immediate logout; you cannot sign in, deposit, wager, or receive marketing.
• Any active bonuses/promotions are voided per their terms.
• You may request withdrawal of any eligible real‑money balance by contacting Support; standard KYC/AML checks apply.
• Early reactivation is not permitted. For non‑lifetime periods, re‑opening is only possible after the term ends and a cooling‑off plus suitability review. Lifetime exclusions are not reopened.

REFLECT

Choose self‑exclusion if gambling harms your well‑being or finances. Consider also installing blocking software and contacting local counselors.
