Responsible Gaming

Gambling always carries the risk of financial loss. No betting strategy can guarantee wins, and outcomes remain unpredictable. Understanding this fundamental truth helps you approach gaming with realistic expectations.

At Cybet, we empower players to control their betting behaviour through practical tools and resources. You can set deposit limits, establish session time reminders, and access self-exclusion options. These features help you enjoy gaming without compromising your financial stability or emotional well-being.

Responsible gaming means playing within your means. Never bet money you cannot afford to lose. Treat gambling as entertainment, not as a way to earn income or solve financial problems. Take regular breaks and maintain balance in your life. Gaming should enhance your leisure time, not dominate it.

Gambling addiction is a serious condition that affects many Canadians. Recognizing the warning signs early can help you or someone you care about seek timely support.

• Spending more money on betting than you can afford to lose
• Chasing losses by placing larger or more frequent bets
• Lying to family or friends about your gambling habits
• Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gaming
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund betting activity
• Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to reduce gambling
• Using betting as an escape from problems or negative emotions
• Experiencing financial difficulties directly caused by gaming
• Losing interest in hobbies or activities you previously enjoyed
• Feeling unable to stop or control your gambling behaviour

If you recognize multiple signs in yourself or a loved one, it may be time to seek professional help. Gambling addiction is treatable, and support is available.

Preventing and addressing gambling problems requires conscious effort and practical strategies. Cybet supports your journey toward healthier gaming habits with these recommendations:

• Set strict deposit limits before you start playing and stick to them
• Establish time limits for gaming sessions and use reminder tools
• Never gamble when feeling stressed, depressed, or under the influence
• Keep track of the time and money you spend on betting activities
• Balance gambling with other leisure activities and social connections
• Avoid borrowing money to gamble or chasing previous losses
• Take regular breaks during gaming sessions to maintain perspective
• Share your gaming habits with trusted friends or family members
• Use self-exclusion features if you feel your control is slipping
• Seek professional counselling or join support groups when needed
