Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming is a principle that promotes a conscious and balanced approach to gambling, emphasizing that participation in casino games should be a form of entertainment rather than a source of harm. At betonred, we are committed to supporting our players to gamble safely and within their means. Our goal is to provide all the necessary tools and assistance to help you maintain control of your gaming experience while enjoying bet-on-red.ca.

Risk Awareness

Recognizing the signs of potential gambling addiction is crucial for maintaining a healthy relationship with gambling activities. Some common indicators of problematic gambling behavior include:

  • Placing frequent bets or increasing wager amounts quickly
  • Spending more time thinking about gambling outside of actual play sessions
  • Using gambling as a way to escape from stress, anxiety, or personal problems
  • Feeling restless or irritable when unable to gamble
  • Chasing losses in an attempt to recover money
  • Neglecting personal, professional, or social responsibilities due to gambling

To help you self-assess your gambling behavior, please consider the following statements. Reflect on how often these apply to you:

  1. I often think about gambling when I am not playing.
  2. I find it difficult to stop gambling once I have started.
  3. I have lied to family or friends about the extent of my gambling.
  4. I gamble to try to win back money I have lost.
  5. I have borrowed money or sold possessions to gamble.

If you answered affirmatively to one or more of these statements frequently or almost always, it may be a sign that your gambling activity is becoming problematic. betonred encourages you to consider using our support resources or limits to maintain responsible play.

Limits & Tools

betonred provides various tools to help you manage your gambling activity responsibly. These include deposit limits, session timers, and temporary breaks from gambling. You can customize these settings within your personal account on bet-on-red.ca as follows:

Deposit Limits

To set deposit limits, log in to your account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming or Account Limits section. Here, you can specify the maximum amount you wish to deposit over a chosen period:

  • Daily Limit: the maximum total deposits allowed per day.
  • Weekly Limit: the maximum total deposits allowed per week.
  • Monthly Limit: the maximum total deposits allowed per month.

Enter amounts that reflect your personal budget and stick to them. Once set, these limits will restrict further deposits once reached, and they can only be lowered or lifted after a cooling-off period to prevent impulsive changes.

Time Spent Limits and Session Timers

Managing the time you spend playing is critical. betonred offers session timers which notify you when you have been playing for a specified duration. You can set these timers in your account settings to receive alerts or automatic session termination after preset intervals.

Enabling Breaks ("Time-Out")

If you feel the need to pause gambling activity temporarily, you can activate a Time-Out. This feature allows you to take a break from playing for a period ranging between 24 to 72 hours. During this time, your account will be temporarily suspended; you will be unable to deposit funds, place bets, or access games.

To activate a Time-Out, access the Responsible Gaming section in your personal account and choose the desired duration. Confirm your selection and your account will be automatically restricted for the chosen period.

Self-Exclusion

If you decide to take more significant steps to control your gambling, betonred offers a Self-Exclusion option that enables temporary or permanent blocking of your account. This measure is designed to protect players from themselves in cases of severe gambling problems.

  1. Locate the Self-Exclusion section: Log into your account on bet-on-red.ca, go to the Responsible Gaming area, and select the Self-Exclusion option.
  2. Choose the exclusion period: You may select a timeframe from a minimum of 6 months up to a permanent (lifetime) self-exclusion.
  3. Confirm your decision: Read the terms and consequences carefully, then confirm your choice.

Once self-exclusion is activated:

  • You will be blocked from logging into your account for the full exclusion duration.
  • No withdrawals or deposits can be made during this period.
  • Any remaining balance will be handled according to the terms specified during self-exclusion activation-usually withheld until the end of the exclusion period or returned upon confirmation of the closure.
  • Requests to end self-exclusion early cannot be made before the minimum period ends.

If you require assistance or have questions regarding self-exclusion, please contact betonred's Responsible Gaming support by the details provided below.
