Responsible Gambling — BoomsBet Canada
At BoomsBet, we believe gambling should always be a fun and enjoyable form of entertainment. We are committed to promoting responsible gambling and providing tools to help you stay in control of your play.
Know the Signs
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Watch for these warning signs:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you intended
- Chasing losses to try to win back money
- Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Lying to friends or family about how much you gamble
Our Responsible Gambling Tools
BoomsBet provides a suite of tools to help you manage your gambling activity:
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits from your account settings. Limits take effect immediately when reduced, and a 24-hour cooling-off period applies before any increase.
Session Time Reminders
Receive notifications after a set period of play to remind you how long you have been gambling during a single session.
Reality Check
Enable regular pop-up reminders that show you how long you have been playing and your net balance for the session, helping you make informed decisions about continuing.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need a break, you can exclude yourself from BoomsBet for periods ranging from 6 months to 5 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion your account will be suspended and all marketing communications stopped. Contact our support team to activate self-exclusion immediately.
Account Cooling-Off
Take a temporary break (24 hours up to 6 weeks) without permanently closing your account. During a cooling-off period you cannot log in or make deposits.
