Responsible Gaming Policy – Pinko Win Canada
Our Commitment to Players
At Pinko Win Canada, our mission is to provide a secure and enjoyable gaming environment where entertainment remains the focus. While most players gamble responsibly, we recognize that some may need extra tools and guidance to stay in control. This policy outlines our strategies, features, and resources designed to help you manage your play.
Responsible Play Self-Check
If you’re unsure whether gambling is affecting you negatively, ask yourself:
- Have you ever played with money meant for essentials?
- Do you gamble to avoid problems or stressful emotions?
- Have you felt guilty or anxious after gambling?
- Do you try to recover losses quickly with larger bets?
- Have you neglected work, studies, or family because of gambling?
If you answer “yes” to more than one, you may be at higher risk. You can take a free, private assessment here: Gamblers Anonymous 20 Questions.
Self-Exclusion Program
We offer self-exclusion tools for players who wish to block their account access for a set period:
- 1 year
- 3 years
- 5 years
- 10 years
- Lifetime
How to activate:
Sign in to your account and go to the Responsible Gaming section or email [email protected]. Once self-exclusion is in place, your account will remain locked until the period ends. Lifetime exclusions cannot be reversed.
Cooling-Off Breaks
If you want a short pause rather than a long-term block, you can activate a cooling-off period:
- 24 hours
- 7 days
- 1 month
- 3 months
During this period, you won’t be able to deposit or place bets. Access is restored automatically once the period ends.
