Responsible gaming

Gambling is entertainment, not income

Every casino game carries a built-in margin for the house. Over a long enough run the

house wins — that is how the games are designed, and no system, streak or betting pattern

changes it. Treat what you spend as the price of an evening out, not as an investment.

Decide the amount you are prepared to lose and the time you are prepared to spend before

the first spin, while you are still calm. Boomzino lets you set deposit, loss and session

limits in your account settings, and a limit set in advance is far easier to keep than a

decision taken after a losing hour.

Chasing losses with bigger bets. Borrowing money to play, or playing with money meant for

something else. Hiding how much you spend from people close to you. Playing to escape

stress, boredom or low mood. Feeling irritable when you cannot play. Any one of these is

a reason to stop and take a break; several together are a reason to ask for help.

Support can suspend an account for a fixed period or permanently. A cooling-off period

blocks deposits and play for days or weeks; self-exclusion is longer and cannot be lifted

on request before it expires. That irreversibility is the point — it removes the decision

from the moment when it is hardest to make.

All of these are free, confidential and available to family members as well as players.

Play only if you are of legal gambling age in your province.
