Responsible Gambling

Signs of Problem Gambling

• Spending money meant for rent, bills or groceries on gambling
• Arguments or secrecy with family and friends about gambling habits
• Missing work, school or chores because of gambling sessions
• Staying up late or losing sleep to place bets
• Continuously chasing losses to try to win back money
• Hiding betting activity, accounts or receipts from others
• Borrowing money or using credit to keep gambling going
• Feeling unable to stop despite repeated attempts and exceeding personal limits

Self-Exclusion and Deposit Limits

Describe how players can use the responsible-gambling or account-settings area of their chosen casino to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit, loss, session, and time limits; Ontario standards require deposit and loss-limit options covering 24 hours, 7 days, and one month. Explain that players should contact the operator's support or responsible-gambling team to request a temporary or permanent self-exclusion, and that official provincial programmes may apply to regulated sites-for example, AGCO provides guidance on self-exclusion and breaks in play.

How We Promote Responsible Gambling

Casino Miyagi operates solely as an affiliate publisher and does not process deposits, manage player accounts, or offer operator-level self‑exclusion, so we focus on promoting responsible gambling through balanced information, clear age and location verification reminders, and links to recognised support services such as the Canadian Problem Gambling Helpline. We avoid any statements that suggest gambling guarantees income and instead direct players to each casino's individual responsible‑gambling tools, policies and self‑exclusion options. By providing transparent guidance and easy access to external help, we encourage safe, informed gambling experiences.

Tips for Safe and Enjoyable Play

• Set a fixed entertainment budget
• Never chase losses
• Never borrow or gamble with essential funds
• Track your time and spending
• Take regular breaks during play
• Avoid gambling when distressed or intoxicated
• Stop when your budget or time limit is reached
• Talk to a trusted person if concerns arise
• Seek professional help early if gambling becomes a problem
