Responsible Gaming
At Yabby Casino (Canada), we want all our players to enjoy our games as a form of entertainment. Gambling should always be fun and played within one’s means. We are committed to providing a safe gaming environment and supporting players who may be at risk.
1. Stay in Control
Gambling should be treated as a leisure activity, not as a way to make money. To maintain control, we recommend the following:
- Set a Budget: Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start playing.
- Set a Time Limit: Keep track of the time you spend gambling.
- Don’t Chase Losses: If you lose, do not try to win it back by increasing your bets.
- Don’t Gamble Under Influence: Avoid playing when you are upset, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol or medication.
2. Our Player Protection Tools
We provide several tools to help you manage your gaming activity:
- Deposit Limits: Limit the amount you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly.
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a specific period.
- Session Limits: Set a notification or automatic logout after a certain amount of playtime.
- Cooling-Off Period: Take a short break from gambling (from 24 hours up to 30 days).
3. Self-Exclusion
If you feel that your gambling is becoming a problem, you can request Self-Exclusion. This will permanently or temporarily close your account and prevent you from receiving marketing materials. To initiate this, please contact our support team at [email protected] or use the “Self-Exclude” button in your account settings.
4. Self-Assessment Questions
If you are unsure about your gambling habits, ask yourself:
- Do you stay away from work or school to gamble?
- Do you gamble to escape a boring or unhappy life?
- Have others ever criticized your gambling?
- Have you ever lied to cover up the amount of money or time you spend gambling?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these, we encourage you to seek professional support.

6. Protection of Minors
Underage gambling is a criminal offense. We perform strict identity verification to ensure all players are at least 19 years of age (or 18 in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec). We recommend that parents use filtering software like Net Nanny or CyberPatrol to restrict access to gambling sites for minors.
