Responsible Gaming
We believe that gambling should be a source of entertainment—not a source of stress or harm. At pinco-canada.ca, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and encouraging users to stay in control of their gaming habits.
Basic recommendations
To enjoy a healthy gaming experience, we encourage the following:
- set time and spending limits before you begin playing;
- only gamble with money you can afford to lose;
- avoid chasing losses or trying to recover past bets;
- take regular breaks during gaming sessions;
- do not gamble when under stress, fatigue, or the influence of substances.
Self-assessment
If you’re concerned about your gambling behaviour, ask yourself the following:
- Do I gamble more often or for longer than I intended?
- Am I spending more money on gambling than I can afford?
- Do I feel anxious or upset when I’m not gambling?
- Have I tried to cut back without success?
- Is gambling affecting my relationships or financial stability?
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes,” consider taking a break or seeking support.
Player protection tools
Most licensed casino platforms offer responsible gaming features such as:
- deposit limits – to help manage your spending;
- session reminders – to alert you of time spent playing;
- cooling-off periods – for short breaks from gameplay;
- self-exclusion – for temporary or permanent restriction of access.
These tools are typically available in your account settings.
