It is important to remember that gambling is, first and foremost, a form of leisure and entertainment. Before playing, you should decide how much time and money you can afford to spend. Make sure that gambling does not become a problem in your life. Do not get caught up in the thrill and lose control of yourself.
If you want to have a good time while avoiding problems with gambling, please remember:
• Decide beforehand how much money you can spend.
• Don’t try to recoup your losses; they may just get worse.
• Beware of how often and how long you play.
• Even when you are winning, it is good to take occasional breaks. Try to find times when a break would be most beneficial.
• Remember that gambling is entertainment. It's not a way to get rich quickly or pay off your debts.
• Gambling is also a game of chance. There are no systems or formulas to guarantee success.
• Don't gamble when you're depressed or upset.
• Make sure you have regular activities outside of gambling.
• Don't drink or take drugs when gambling.

Deposit Limits
You are able to set daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits for your account.
If you feel like it would be a good idea to set deposit limits for yourself, just contact the Gambyl Support Team (Support@Gambyl.com) to discuss your options.
If you wish to increase your limits again (or remove them completely), please note that this will not take effect immediately. It could take up to 24 hours for your increased limits to be available.
Self-Exclusion
If you think you may have a gambling problem and require short- or long-term restrictions, we offer a Self-Exclusion option, which includes:
• Cooling off periods between 24 hours to six weeks
• Six-month Self-Exclusion period*
Please note that, once a Self-Exclusion request has been made, we cannot reverse the decision. Before committing to a Self-Exclusion, you are advised to carefully consider this decision, discussing your situation with a gambling help group if you have any doubt.
Once you’ve decided to initiate a Self-Exclusion period because of a gambling problem, please contact our Gambyl Support Team (Support@Gambyl.com) to discuss your responsible gambling options and to decide which best suits your needs. Following this initial consultation, you’ll receive an email asking you to confirm that we should apply the restrictions**. Your reply must be sent from an email address registered with a Gambyl account. Self-Exclusions should not be assumed to be applied until Gambyl sends a confirmation email back to your email address.
Should you decide to enter a Self-Exclusion period, please ensure that you also self-exclude at any other gambling facilities where you hold accounts. Please submit your Comprehensive Self-Exclusion request to the Commission at http://gamingcommission.ca/playerexclusion.htm.
This process will help you maximize the effectiveness of your exclusion.
* Should Gambyl deem it unwise or unhealthy for the Gaming Account to be re-opened, it will be closed permanently at the sole discretion of Gambyl. Gambyl reserves the right to initiate an exclusion if there is reason to believe the account holder has a gambling problem, or if, due to other circumstances, it is deemed to not be in their or Gambyl’s best interests to continue gambling activities.
** Although we make every effort to ensure that subsequently opened accounts are identified as self-excluded, we respectfully ask that self-excluded account holders refrain from opening new accounts. We cannot be held responsible for gambling activity on alternate accounts if you attempt to circumvent our systems.
