Responsible Gaming – Ontario Pin-Stars Casino

At Ontario Pin-Stars Casino, we believe that gambling should always be fun, exciting, and entertaining. However, we recognize that, for some players, gaming can become problematic. That’s why we are dedicated to promoting responsible gaming by offering tools, resources, and support to help you stay in control of your gaming habits.

We encourage all players to gamble responsibly, set limits, and seek assistance when needed. Our goal is to create a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment for everyone.

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

To ensure a responsible gaming experience, we uphold the following principles:

• Entertainment First – Gambling should be viewed as a form of entertainment, not a way to make money.
• Informed Decisions – Players should understand the rules, odds, and risks associated with each game.
• Financial Control – Setting a budget and sticking to it is essential for responsible play.
• Balance & Moderation – Gaming should never interfere with daily life, work, or personal responsibilities.
• Player Protection – We offer various tools to help you control your gaming behavior.
• Support & Assistance – We encourage players to seek professional help if gambling becomes a concern.

Recognizing Problem Gambling

It’s important to recognize the signs of problem gambling. Ask yourself:

❓ Do you spend more time or money on gambling than you planned?
❓ Has gambling negatively affected your work, studies, or relationships?
❓ Do you gamble to escape stress, anxiety, or financial difficulties?
❓ Have you attempted to stop gambling but found it difficult?
❓ Do you borrow money or sell personal items to fund your gambling?
❓ Have you hidden your gambling activities from family or friends?

If you answered “yes” to any of these, it may be time to re-evaluate your gaming habits and explore available support resources.

Responsible Gaming Tools

To help you maintain control over your gaming, Ontario Pin-Stars Casino offers several player protection tools:

1. Deposit & Spending Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on deposits, wagers, or losses to manage your spending.

• Lowering limits takes effect immediately.
• Increasing limits requires a cooling-off period before activation.

2. Time Limits & Session Controls

Set time limits on your gaming sessions to prevent excessive play and encourage healthier habits.

3. Self-Exclusion & Cooling-Off Periods

If you need a break, we offer:
🛑 Cooling-Off Periods – Temporary suspension of your account for a short period.
🛑 Self-Exclusion – Restrict access to your account for six months to five years.

During self-exclusion, you cannot log in, deposit funds, or place bets. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed until the selected period expires.

4. Account Closure

If you believe gambling is negatively impacting your life, you can request permanent account closure. If you need a longer break but plan to return, self-exclusion is a better option.
