Responsible Gaming Policy – PincoBetting Canada
Our Commitment
At PincoBetting Canada, we believe that sports betting and online gaming should always be a fun, safe, and controlled activity. While most players enjoy our services responsibly, we understand that gambling can lead to harm if not managed properly. This policy outlines the measures, tools, and resources we provide to help you stay in control.
Recognizing the Signs of Problem Gambling
It’s important to know when your betting habits might be turning into a problem. Ask yourself:
- Do you bet more than you can afford to lose?
- Have you tried to recover losses by placing bigger wagers?
- Do you gamble to escape stress, boredom, or personal issues?
- Have you spent more time betting than planned?
- Has gambling caused conflict with family or friends?
If you answer “yes” to more than one, you may benefit from an assessment: Gamblers Anonymous 20 Questions.
Self-Exclusion
We offer a self-exclusion feature that allows you to block access to your account for a fixed or permanent period. Available options include:
- 1 year
- 3 years
- 5 years
- 10 years
- Lifetime
How to activate:
Log in to your account and access the Responsible Gaming settings, or email [email protected]. Once set, self-exclusion cannot be lifted early. Lifetime exclusions are permanent.
Cooling-Off Periods
If you only need a short break, you can activate a cooling-off period for:
- 24 hours
- 7 days
