Player Protection
We want gambling at Yabby Casino to remain entertainment. It is not a way to earn income, recover losses, or solve financial problems. You should only play if you are of legal age in your province or territory in Canada, which is 18 or 19 depending on where you live. If you are under the legal age, you must not use our services. We also recognise that gambling can be addictive, and that risk may affect anyone, regardless of how often they play or how much they spend. For that reason, we encourage you to keep a close watch on your time, spending, and emotional state while using our site.
We support safer play by making it easier for you to set boundaries and step away when needed. If you feel that gambling is becoming difficult to control, please stop playing and use the protection tools available to you. You should never gamble when you are upset, under pressure, or trying to win back money you have lost.
Tools to Stay in Control
We encourage you to use the account controls available to help you manage your play. These tools are designed to support informed, deliberate decisions and to help you take a break when needed. If you are concerned about your habits, setting limits early is often the most effective approach.
- Deposit limits: set a maximum amount you can add to your account over a chosen period.
- Loss limits: restrict the amount you are prepared to lose within a set timeframe.
- Wager limits: control how much you can stake over a defined period.
- Session reminders: receive prompts that help you keep track of how long you have been playing.
- Cool-off periods: take a temporary break from gambling for a period you choose or that is available through your account controls.
- Self-exclusion: if you need a longer pause, you can exclude yourself from play for an extended period.
If you choose to use any of these tools, we expect you to respect the limits you set. If you need further help with account restrictions or safer-play options, please contact support through the channels available on our website.
Where to Get Help
If gambling is starting to affect your wellbeing, help is available in Canada. Independent support services can provide confidential assistance, including one-to-one counselling, helplines, and practical guidance on how to reduce or stop play. Many services also offer self-assessment tools that can help you review your gambling patterns and identify risk early.
We encourage you to reach out as soon as you have concerns, even if you are not sure the situation is serious. Speaking to a trained professional or a trusted support service can make it easier to take control before problems increase. If you prefer, you can also speak with a family member, friend, or healthcare professional who can help you consider your next steps. Seeking help is a responsible action, and it does not require you to wait until the situation becomes severe.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. The following signs may indicate that play is becoming unhealthy, and you should take them seriously if they apply to you:
- Chasing losses: feeling the need to keep playing in an attempt to win back money you have lost.
- Borrowing to gamble: using borrowed money, credit, or funds needed for other expenses in order to continue playing.
- Gambling to escape: playing to avoid stress, worry, loneliness, anger, or other difficult feelings.
- Spending more than planned: regularly exceeding the time or money you intended to use.
- Difficulty stopping: finding it hard to walk away even when you want to stop.
- Neglecting responsibilities: allowing gambling to interfere with work, study, family life, or other commitments.
If any of these signs sound familiar, we encourage you to pause play and use the protection tools available to you. Reaching out for support early can help you reduce harm and regain control.
