Responsible Gaming Policy – Pinko Online Casino Canada
Our Responsibility
At Pinko Online Casino, we are dedicated to ensuring that online gaming remains a source of entertainment, not a cause of harm. We understand that while most players enjoy gambling responsibly, some may face challenges in maintaining control. This policy outlines our preventative measures, available tools, and resources to help you play safely.
Keeping Gambling Fun
Gambling should be a recreational activity that fits comfortably into your lifestyle. If you’re worried that it’s starting to cause problems, consider asking yourself:
- Have you ever spent more than you intended on gambling?
- Do you gamble to escape stress or negative emotions?
- Have friends or family expressed concern about your gambling habits?
- Do you try to recover losses with larger bets?
- Have you neglected important responsibilities because of gambling?

Self-Exclusion Tools
We offer self-exclusion programs to give you the ability to pause your account for a set period. Available options include:
- 1 year
- 3 years
- 5 years
- 10 years
- Lifetime (permanent ban)
How to activate:
Sign in to your account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section, or contact [email protected]. Once activated, your account will remain locked until the exclusion period ends. Lifetime exclusions cannot be reversed.
Cooling-Off Periods
If you want a shorter break without fully excluding yourself, you can use our cooling-off feature. Available timeframes:
- 24 hours
- 7 days

- 3 months
During this period, deposits and betting will be blocked, and access will automatically resume after the chosen time frame.
