Responsible Gambling

Kric is committed to helping adults make informed choices and keep gambling within their limits. This page is for anyone who visits Kric or chooses to play at a casino we feature, as well as friends and family concerned about someone's gambling.

Limits and Self-Exclusion

Players can set deposit, loss, wager or time limits and schedule temporary breaks by navigating to the "Safer Gambling" or "Settings" section of the casino's website, noting that exact location and options vary by operator. To request full self‑exclusion, users should contact the casino's support team via live chat, email, or phone as listed in the responsible‑gaming page, while Ontario residents may also use the BetGuard self‑exclusion portal to block access across all regulated online gambling sites. Most operators enforce a cooling‑off period before limit adjustments take effect, so players should allow the specified time frame to ensure the new restrictions are applied.

How Kric Promotes Safer Play

Kric promotes safer gambling by providing clear, easily accessible information on responsible‑play practices and by linking directly to provincial regulators such as the Ontario Gaming Commission and to support services like Gamblers Anonymous and the Canadian Problem Gambling Helpline. Every article and game review includes reminders to set deposit, loss and session limits and to use the self‑exclusion tools available through the casino's own account settings. As an affiliate, Kric does not hold player accounts; all limit adjustments and exclusions must be made on the operator's platform.

Tips for Safer Play

  • Set a daily spend limit and a time limit before you start playing.
  • Treat gambling as entertainment, not income; never borrow or chase losses.
  • Take regular breaks and, if gambling causes distress or disrupts life, stop and seek help from the Responsible Gambling Council.
