Responsible Gaming
Playing at Winning.io should be a fun and enjoyable experience. Our mission is to entertain you, but we recognize the potential risks associated with problem gambling. Below, we offer some tips to help you keep your gambling within manageable limits, along with resources for seeking help if needed.
Recommendations:
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Know your limits and be clear about them before you start betting.
Take breaks. Gambling continuously without breaks can impact your judgment.
Don’t gamble when you’re upset or depressed. Talk to friends or family or contact a Help Organization.
Engage in other activities. Sometimes less is more, so make gambling a part of a well-balanced lifestyle.
Don’t chase losses. Set your limits and stay in control.
Above all! Gambling is a form of entertainment, thus, treat it as an entertainment expense.
Know Your Limits
At Winning.io, we believe your ability to play safely is very important. To support you, we offer tools to help you take a break if needed.
In the "Responsible Gaming" part of your account, you will find:
Deposit Limits
This feature limits the amount you can deposit during a specific period. Once you reach this limit, you won't be able to make any new deposits until the limit resets.
Bet Limits
This feature limits the total amount you can bet during a specific period. Once you reach this limit, you won't be able to place any new bets until the limit resets.
Loss Limits
This feature limits the total amount you can lose during a specific period. Once you reach this limit, you won't be able to place any new bets until the limit resets. Please note that winnings are not taken into calculation.
Session Limits
This feature allows you to limit how much time you spend playing per session.
Temporary Exclusion
If you're unable to control your gambling and need a longer or permanent break, you can choose a self-exclusion. This means you won't be able to reopen your account for the period you choose. You do not have to log on to request a temporary exclusion as you can contact us via live chat or email at support@winning.io for assistance.
Permanent Self-Exclusion
If gambling has become a problem or if friends and family have expressed concern, we recommend requesting a permanent self-exclusion. Please contact us via live chat or email at support@winning.io for assistance.
Further Self Exclusion options can be found by visiting the Kahnawáke Gaming Commission

Professional Assistance
Gamblers Anonymous consists of a group of individuals who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to do the same. They offer various aids for the compulsive gambler including a forum, a chat room, literature and most importantly a meeting finder.
GamCare was founded in 1997, and they are very good at providing information, advice, and support for anyone affected by gambling difficulties. They operate the National Gambling Helpline, provide treatment for problem gamblers and their families, create awareness about responsible gambling and treatment, and promote effective responsible gambling practices within the industry.
Responsible Gaming Council (RGC) is a respected, independent non-profit organization. For over 40 years, the RGC has been a leader in the prevention of problem gambling in Canada and globally.
Additional Tips
Gambling Blocks. Many banks, fintech banks, and e-wallet providers now offer gambling blocks, allowing customers to block gambling transactions on their accounts. If you want to implement these, your bank should guide you on how to do this or could even do it for you. Be aware that these blocks are not permanent and can be switched on and off with varying delays.
Spending Limits and Card Freezes. Some banks may allow you to set a spending limit for a single debit card transaction or temporarily freeze your card if you feel your spending is getting out of control. This will vary from bank to bank, so check what protections your bank can provide for you.
Device Blockers. Another way to take a break from online gambling is to use a "blocker" on your device. Well-known options include Gamblock and Betblocker.
