Responsible Gaming
Responsible gaming at duelbits means making informed, conscious choices so gambling remains entertainment-not a source of harm. Our goal is to help you set boundaries, recognize risks early, and access professional support when needed. duelbits777-canada.com provides player tools, clear information, and assistance from trained staff to encourage safe play for eligible Canadian visitors (19+, or 18+ in AB, MB, QC). Operated by Liquid Entertainment N.V. (Curaçao licence GLH-OCCHKTW076092020), some features or restrictions may vary by province/territory. LoT Observe: present risks and tools. Expand: include Canada-specific resources and safeguards. Reflect: offer clear steps, choices, and escalation paths.
Risk Awareness
Observe: Gambling can become risky when time, money, or emotions consistently exceed planned limits. Expand: Learn common signs and test yourself. Reflect: If several signs apply, consider using our tools or contacting support below.
Common warning signs
- Increasing bet size or frequency to "chase losses."
- Thinking about gambling when not playing; neglecting work, study, or family.
- Spending more than you can afford; using credit or borrowing to gamble.
- Hiding play from loved ones; feeling guilt, anxiety, or irritability when not gambling.
- Repeatedly overriding limits, cancelling withdrawals, or playing for long sessions.
Quick self-check (answer Yes/No)
- In the last 3 months, have you spent more than your planned gambling budget?
- Have you tried to win back losses by increasing stakes or playing longer?
- Have friends or family expressed concern about your gambling?
- Have you missed work/study/sleep because of gambling?
- Would a temporary block or self-exclusion make you feel safer?
If you answered "Yes" to two or more, consider setting stricter limits, taking a Time-Out, or contacting professional support listed below.
Limits & Tools
Observe: Limits make spending/time visible and enforceable. Expand: Set daily/weekly/monthly deposit caps and session controls. Reflect: Reductions apply immediately; increases have a cooling-off period for safety.
Deposit limits (daily / weekly / monthly)
- Log in at duelbits777-canada.com.
- Go to Account > Settings > Responsible Gaming > Deposit Limits.
- Enter maximum amounts you are comfortable depositing (e.g., Daily: C$50; Weekly: C$150; Monthly: C$400).
- Click Save. You cannot deposit above these caps. Decreases take effect immediately.
- Increases are subject to a minimum 24-hour cooling-off period and require reconfirmation before activation.
Time spent limits and reminders
- Set session reminders (e.g., every 15/30/60 minutes) under Account > Responsible Gaming > Session Controls.
- Enable a maximum session length (e.g., 60-180 minutes). On expiry, you will be logged out and must wait 15 minutes before returning.
Time-Out (24-72 hours)
- Account > Responsible Gaming > Time-Out.
- Select 24, 48, or 72 hours. Confirm to pause all play, deposits, and marketing during that period.
- You will be logged out immediately and cannot cancel the Time-Out once started.
Regional compliance note (CA): Ontario standards adopt cooling-off for limit increases and immediate effect for reductions. duelbits applies these safeguards to Canadian users as a best-practice measure.
