Responsible Gaming

Responsible Gambling at Kahnawake Bingo

Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not a source of income. To maintain safe and balanced habits:

Understanding bankroll management is essential to avoid financial difficulties. Consider these guidelines:

Set a separate budget for gambling, keeping it separate from other funds
Allocate only disposable income towards gaming expenses
Avoid using borrowed money or credit cards for betting purposes
Be aware of the risks associated with progressive jackpots and high-stakes games

To maintain a healthy balance:

Staying informed about your gaming experience is crucial. Explore the following tools:

Enable reality checks to monitor time spent playing, session frequency, and losses over a specified period
Set custom reminders to check on daily or weekly budget updates
Schedule notifications for deposit limits or other responsible gambling goals

Protect yourself from problem gaming. We offer:

Short-term cooling-off periods of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days, allowing you to take a break without closing your account
Long-term self-exclusion options for more extended breaks, including permanent removal if needed
Access to support services and resources during this time

Verify your age and ensure gaming safety:

We strive to support all players, particularly those at risk. Identify potential vulnerabilities by asking yourself these questions:

If you answer 'yes' to any of these, it's essential to seek help and support.

Recognize the warning signs:

Feeling a strong urge to continue betting despite losing money
Relying heavily on others financially due to losses or debt accumulation
Spreading gaming sessions across multiple platforms, making tracking increasingly difficult
