Responsible Gaming
Responsible gaming at onlywin is founded on the principle of promoting a conscious and informed approach to gambling as a form of entertainment. Our objective is to ensure that all players engage in betting activities safely and within their means. We recognize that gambling should be enjoyed responsibly, and we are committed to providing comprehensive support to our players at every stage of their gaming experience.
Risk Awareness
Gambling can be an enjoyable pastime; however, it carries inherent risks that may lead to problematic behavior for some individuals. Being aware of the signs of potential gambling addiction is crucial to maintaining control. Common indicators include:
- Frequent betting beyond intended limits
- Preoccupation with gambling activities outside of playtime
- Using gambling to escape personal or financial problems
- Increasing amounts of money wagered to achieve excitement
- Inability to stop or reduce gambling despite negative consequences
- Lying to others about gambling habits
To help you assess your relationship with gambling, please consider the following statements. Reflect honestly and note how often each applies to you:
- I find myself thinking about gambling when I should be focusing on other activities.
- I feel restless or irritable when attempting to cut down or stop gambling.
- I gamble longer or with more money than I originally planned.
- I try to win back money I have lost by gambling more.
- Gambling has caused problems with my family, work, or finances.
If you answered "often" or "always" to several of these statements, we strongly encourage you to seek support and make use of the responsible gaming tools provided.
Limits & Tools
At onlywin, players have access to various tools designed to promote responsible gaming and help maintain control over gambling habits.
Deposit Limits
You may establish personalized deposit limits to restrict the amount of money you can add to your account within specific time frames. These limits can be set as daily, weekly, or monthly caps. To configure your deposit limits, please follow these steps:
- Log into your only-win.ca personal account.
- Navigate to the Responsible Gaming section in your account settings.
- Select Deposit Limits and choose your preferred limit period: daily, weekly, or monthly.
- Enter the maximum amount you wish to deposit for the chosen period.
- Confirm and save your settings.
These limits are binding and cannot be increased immediately after reduction, thereby protecting you from impulsive changes.
Time Spent Limits and Session Timers
You may also monitor and control the duration of your gaming sessions through session timers available in the same Responsible Gaming area. This feature helps to prevent excessive playtime.
Time-Out Breaks
If you require a short pause from gambling, the Time-Out option allows you to temporarily suspend your gaming activity for a period of 24 to 72 hours. To activate Time-Out:
- Access the Responsible Gaming section within your personal account.
- Select the Time-Out feature.
- Choose a pause duration between 24 and 72 hours.
- Confirm your selection. During this time, you will be unable to access gambling services.
Time-Out helps to regain control when you feel the need to step away from gambling temporarily.
Self-Exclusion
For players who wish to cease gambling activities for extended periods or permanently, onlywin offers a self-exclusion program with clearly defined procedures:
- Log into your account on only-win.ca.
- Go to the Responsible Gaming section and select Self-Exclusion.
- Choose the duration of self-exclusion, which can range from a minimum of 6 months up to a lifetime exclusion.
- Confirm your decision to initiate self-exclusion.
Once self-exclusion is activated:
- You will be unable to log in to your account or access any gambling services for the selected period.
- Withdrawals of any remaining balance will be processed according to standard account closure procedures. Note that, during exclusion, no deposits or wagers are permitted.
- At the end of the self-exclusion period, account reactivation requires contacting onlywin support, with possible additional verification and cooling-off processes.
If you require assistance or have questions about self-exclusion, please contact our support team at [email protected] or by phone at +1-599-973-70200.
