Play Smart: Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
Let's get one thing straight: playing at an online casino should be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. It should be fun. The moment it stops being fun, it's time to take a step back. At CasinoHub365.com, we take responsible gaming extremely seriously. Our goal is not just to point you to great online casinos, but to ensure you have a safe and controlled experience while you're there.
This page is a resource. It's here to help you understand the tools at your disposal, recognize the signs of potential problems, and know exactly where to turn for confidential, professional help in Canada if you or someone you know needs it.
Recognizing the Signs
Problem gambling can be insidious, and it's not always obvious. Being honest with yourself is the first and most important step. Ask yourself if any of the following feel familiar:
- Are you spending more money or time gambling than you originally intended?
- Are you chasing losses, trying to win back money you've lost?
- Have you borrowed money or sold things to fund your gambling?
- Has gambling negatively impacted your relationships, work, or other responsibilities?
- Do you feel irritable or anxious when you try to cut back or stop gambling?
- Are you hiding the extent of your gambling from friends or family?
If you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, it may be a sign that it's time to seek support. There is no shame in asking for help.
Tools to Keep You in Control
Every reputable casino we review, including Spinmama, is required by its license to provide players with a set of responsible gaming tools. These are your first line of defence, and I strongly encourage every player to set them up, even if you don't think you have a problem. It's like wearing a seatbelt—you do it for safety, just in case.
- Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on how much money you can deposit. Once you hit the limit, you can't add more funds until the period resets.
- Loss Limits: Similar to deposit limits, but based on net losses. This prevents you from chasing losses beyond a pre-set amount.
- Session Limits: A pop-up reminder will appear after you've been playing for a certain amount of time, forcing you to take a moment and decide if you want to continue.
- Cool-Off Period: Temporarily block yourself from accessing your account for a short period, like 24 hours, a week, or a month.
- Self-Exclusion: This is a more permanent step. You can block yourself from the casino for a longer period (e.g., six months, one year, or permanently). This action is usually irreversible for the chosen duration.
You can typically find these tools in your account settings after you login. If you can't find them, contact customer support immediately and ask them to apply the limits for you.
