Responsible Gaming Policy – Canada Pinco
Our Responsibility to Players
At Canada Pinco, we are committed to ensuring that online gaming stays fun, safe, and in your control. We understand that while most players gamble responsibly, some may experience difficulties managing their play. This policy outlines our commitment, the tools we provide, and the resources available to support you.
Signs You Might Need a Break
Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a financial strategy or emotional escape. Ask yourself:
- Have you ever spent more than you planned when gambling?
- Do you use gambling to avoid stress, boredom, or personal problems?
- Have friends or family expressed concern about your gaming habits?
- Have you tried to recover losses by betting more?
- Have you skipped work, school, or social events because of gambling?
If any of these sound familiar, you may benefit from a self-assessment. A helpful, confidential test can be found here: Gamblers Anonymous 20 Questions.
Self-Exclusion Program
We offer voluntary self-exclusion to help you take control of your play. You can choose to block access to your account for:
- 1 year
- 3 years
- 5 years
- 10 years
- Lifetime (permanent)
How to activate:
Visit your account’s Responsible Gaming section or email [email protected]. Once set, self-exclusion cannot be lifted early. Lifetime exclusions are final.
Cooling-Off Periods
If you want a shorter pause without full exclusion, you can activate a cooling-off break for:
- 24 hours
- 7 days
- 1 month
- 3 months
During this time, deposits and betting are disabled. Access is restored automatically when the period ends.
