Responsible gambling

If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, there are resources available to help.

Self-Exclusion

Fair Go offers a self-exclusion feature that allows players to voluntarily exclude themselves from the website for a specified period of time. This can be done through customer support and requires the player's explicit consent.

Deposit Limits

Players can request deposit limits on their account, which will restrict the amount they can deposit within a certain timeframe. This is intended to help manage spending habits and prevent excessive betting.

Time-Outs

Fair Go offers temporary time-out periods that allow players to take a break from playing. These periods range from 24 hours to several weeks or even months, depending on the player's needs.

Responsible Gaming Tools

While not as extensive as some regulated European sites, Fair Go provides basic responsible gaming measures including deposit limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion through customer support.

Session Reminders

Fair Go encourages players to gamble within their means and may provide session reminders or loss limits to help with responsible play. These features are not as granular as those on tightly regulated Canadian sites but still offer an added layer of harm reduction for concerned users.

External Support Organizations

Offshore casinos often link to global organizations such as Gamblers Anonymous or Gambling Therapy from their responsible gaming pages. Fair Go does this, offering resources for players who need professional help.

For Canadians struggling with problem gambling, it is essential to access domestic support services and helplines in addition to those provided by online platforms like Fair Go.

Limitations of Online Responsible Gaming Tools

While Fair Go provides some basic responsible gaming features, they may not be as comprehensive or self-service as those on tightly regulated Canadian sites. It's crucial for players to understand the limitations of these tools and seek additional support when needed.

If you're a Canadian player struggling with problem gambling, remember that there are resources available:

• Provincial helplines
• Gamblers Anonymous or Gambling Therapy (linked from Fair Go's website)
• External support organizations

Take control of your gaming habits by understanding the risks and seeking help.
