Safer Gambling at HoneyBetz
At HoneyBetz in Canada, gambling works best when it stays entertainment-focused and optional.
Navigation
We encourage a steady approach that keeps casino play as leisure, not a plan. Gambling should never be treated as a source of income or a way to recover from debts.
Staying in control is often easier when your habits are visible. Tracking both time and the amount spent each day helps you spot patterns early.
If spending starts to feel automatic, or gaming begins to crowd out normal routines, take a pause. Consider setting limits, using self-exclusion, or seeking independent support.
- Set a budget before any session and keep it realistic for you.
- Record deposits and bets so decisions stay deliberate.
- Take breaks to avoid tired, rushed choices.
- Use built-in tools when play no longer feels light.
Eight Practical Habits
We follow a simple set of habits that keeps play predictable and less reactive. They’re designed to reduce chasing behaviour and make sessions easier to end.
- Casino bets are just fun, never a career.
- Never double up just to win back losses.
- Set a daily, weekly, or monthly budget you can afford to lose.
- Avoid gambling when drunk, on drugs, tired, or feeling down.
- Watch how long you stay online and track the bets you place.
- Take breaks to stay fresh and clear-headed.
- Set a budget before you start and stick to it.
- Enjoy yourself and stop when it stops being enjoyable.
Underage Access Prevention
We do not allow anyone under 18 years of age to open an account. Anyone who helps a minor open an account breaches our Terms & Conditions.
At home, a few simple steps can reduce accidental access and shared-device mistakes.
- Do not share log-in details with anyone.
- Do not enable the “remember password” option on log-in screens.
- Do not share credit card or bank account details with minors.
- Install parental controls or internet filtering where under-18 users may browse.
Deposit Limits
Deposit limits are central to our responsible gaming tools because they cap spending. You can choose a daily, weekly, or monthly limit, or combine periods for tighter control.
Set limits from “My Account” and then “Responsible Gaming” by entering an amount in the “Daily Limit”, “Weekly Limit”, or “Monthly Limit” boxes.
If you decide to raise or remove a deposit limit, the change does not apply immediately. Any request to increase or remove a deposit limit takes effect after 24 hours, giving you time to reconsider.
How Limits Are Calculated
Limits use a look-back window based on what you have already deposited in the prior period, not only what happens after you set the limit. This helps prevent quick resets and supports steadier budgeting.
| Tool Option | When It Applies | Details & Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Daily deposit limit | 24 hours |
|
| Weekly deposit limit | 168 hours |
|
| Combining daily + weekly limits | Up to 168 hours (weekly window) |
|
| Session limits | Instant; minimum duration of 6 minutes |
|
| Wagering limits | Not specified |
|
| Reality checks (play-time/spend reminders) | While playing |
|
| Increase/remove a deposit limit | 24 hours |
|
| Self-exclusion (timeframes offered) | Immediate (new or extension) |
|
| Where to set responsible gaming limits | Not specified |

Additional Responsible Gaming Tools
Limits work best alongside tools that interrupt long sessions and make activity easier to track. Used together, they can help reduce impulsive deposits and autopilot play.
- Reality checks that prompt you with time and spending reminders.
- Account history showing deposits, withdrawals, bets, and wins/losses.
- Session limits that log you out when the set time ends.
- Wagering limits to cap what you agree to wager per period.
Understanding Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop when moderation slips. Like shopping, alcohol, or video games, gaming can become difficult to stop.
Warning signs are not always about money, and they are not always obvious. Gambling can also sit alongside a wider issue, such as stress or avoidance.
A game can shift from pastime to escape, especially during low moods or pressure. Sometimes the motivation stays subconscious, so consequences are only noticed later.
Early action matters because the impact can become financial and social over time. Professional help exists, and reaching out sooner keeps options broader.
Quick Self-Check Questions
These questions can help you assess risk without judgement. If several answers are “yes,” consider stepping back and getting support.
- Do you spend more time or money gambling than you can afford?
- Do you feel the need to bet more money more frequently?
- Do you gamble to escape problems or relieve guilt, anxiety, or depression?
- Have you tried to cut down or stop, but could not?
- Have you lied to others to hide your gambling?
We can also direct you toward practical tools, including limits and self-exclusion. If you have concerns, contacting our support team is a good next step.
Our Responsible Gaming Commitment
We aim to keep HoneyBetz a safer gambling environment for players in Canada. We monitor for signs of harmful patterns and may reach out when support seems needed.
We train our staff regularly on responsible gaming and how to assist players facing difficulties. Prevention guides our approach, so tools and education remain available at any time.
How Last Deposits Affect Limits
Limits and time windows use recent deposits to decide what is available next. This look-back design helps prevent rapid cycles of deposit, play, and redeposit.
When you choose a daily limit, the system counts deposits made over the past 24 hours. When you choose a weekly limit, the system counts deposits made over the past 168 hours.
This matters most when you set a limit after depositing, or when you combine daily and weekly settings. You may find deposits blocked until the relevant time has passed since the last deposit.
For a smoother start, consider setting a limit before playing. If you need a firmer pause, self-exclusion offers fixed periods up to indefinite timeframes.
