Monro Casino Responsible Gaming
At Monro Casino, gambling should always be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial difficulties. Games are based on chance, and there is no guaranteed outcome or strategy that can ensure a profit.
Responsible gambling means making informed choices, setting personal boundaries and taking action when gambling no longer feels enjoyable or manageable. This page explains the principles, tools and support options available to help players maintain control.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
Monro Casino is committed to providing a safer gambling environment in which players can make decisions based on clear information and realistic expectations. We encourage every player to treat gambling as a leisure activity and to spend only what they can comfortably afford to lose.
Our responsible gambling approach is designed to support informed participation, early recognition of harmful patterns and access to practical controls. We do not present gambling as a source of income, a solution to debt or a way to recover previous losses. Winning is never guaranteed, and continued play cannot change the underlying odds of a game.
Players are encouraged to review their gambling habits regularly. If gambling begins to affect finances, relationships, work, studies, health or emotional wellbeing, it is important to take a break and seek appropriate assistance.
Recognizing Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually, and signs may not always be immediately obvious. A person may be experiencing difficulties if they regularly think about gambling, feel restless when attempting to stop or increase the amount of money used to achieve the same level of excitement.
Other possible warning signs include chasing losses, borrowing money to gamble, hiding gambling activity, neglecting responsibilities, feeling distressed after playing or continuing despite negative consequences. Gambling may also become concerning when it interferes with sleep, personal relationships, employment or studies.
These signs do not constitute a diagnosis, but they should be treated seriously. If gambling is causing stress or feels difficult to control, using a break or self-exclusion option and contacting a qualified support service can be helpful. Asking for assistance is a responsible decision, not a failure.
Self-Assessment and Limits
Before playing, consider whether gambling fits within your personal budget and whether you can accept losing the amount you plan to spend. A short self-assessment can help you identify whether your gambling remains recreational. Ask yourself how often you gamble, whether you try to recover losses, whether you hide your activity and how gambling affects your daily life.
Monro Casino encourages players to establish limits before depositing or playing. Available controls and requests may include:
- Deposit limits that restrict the amount added to an account over a selected period.
- Loss limits that help control the maximum amount a player is prepared to lose within a chosen timeframe.
- Reality checks that provide reminders about the time spent playing and encourage regular reviews of activity.
- Cooling-off periods that temporarily suspend access to gambling for a selected period, allowing time away from play.
- Self-exclusion, which enables a player to request a longer-term restriction on access to the account and gambling services.
Limits should be set before gambling begins and should reflect your disposable entertainment budget rather than essential expenses. Players should not increase limits in response to losses or emotional pressure. Where a restriction has been requested, processing and application details may depend on the type of control selected.
Responsible Gaming Tools
The Monro Casino website includes responsible gambling features intended to help players monitor and manage their activity. These tools are designed to support personal decisions and should be used proactively rather than only after a problem has developed.
- Account-based deposit controls for setting and reviewing deposit amounts over defined periods.
- Loss management options that help players establish a maximum acceptable loss.
- Reality check notifications that draw attention to the duration of a gaming session.
- Cooling-off requests for players who want a temporary break from gambling.
- Self-exclusion requests for players who need a more extended restriction from access.
- Account activity information that can assist with reviewing deposits, withdrawals and gambling sessions.
- Responsible gambling information that explains safer play practices and available support options.
Tools may operate according to the settings selected by the player and the relevant account procedures. If you are unsure how to use a feature, contact Monro Casino support before continuing to play. Technical controls cannot replace professional advice, and they should not be regarded as a guarantee that gambling-related harm will be prevented.
Support and Assistance
If gambling becomes difficult to control, stop playing and consider seeking professional help. A qualified counsellor or gambling support service can provide confidential guidance based on your circumstances. You can also contact Monro Casino at [email protected] for account-related assistance, including questions about responsible gambling controls.
Independent Canadian resources may also provide information and direction to local support:
- Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) is an independent Canadian non-profit organization providing safer gambling information and resources for finding local help.
- ConnexOntario is an Ontario service offering free and confidential support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at 1-866-531-2600.
- Gambling Support BC is a British Columbia service offering free and confidential support, including its 24/7 Gambling Support Line at 1-888-795-6111.
These organisations are independent external resources and are not partners of, or services operated by, Monro Casino. Provincial gambling support services may vary depending on where you live in Canada. If you believe you are in immediate danger or facing a medical emergency, contact the appropriate emergency service in your location.
Underage Gambling
Only individuals aged +18 or older may use the website. Monro Casino does not permit underage individuals to create accounts, deposit funds or participate in gambling activities.
Players must provide accurate information when required for account verification and must not allow another person to access or use their account. If an adult believes that an underage person may have accessed the website or an account, they should notify Monro Casino promptly and take steps to secure the relevant device and login details.
Age restrictions are important because young people may be more vulnerable to the risks associated with gambling. Parents and guardians should discuss online safety and take reasonable steps to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites or payment methods.
Parental Controls
Monro Casino account controls are intended for the registered account holder and are not a substitute for device-level or household supervision. Parents and guardians should consider using parental control software, content filters and password protection on computers, tablets and mobile devices used by children.
Payment services and online account credentials should also be kept secure. Do not save gambling login details on a shared device, and do not allow another person to use your account. Reviewing browser settings, app permissions and access to payment methods can provide additional protection.
Parental controls may differ by operating system, device and service provider. Users should review the relevant settings and instructions for their own equipment.
Tips for Staying in Control
The following practices can help keep gambling within reasonable personal boundaries:
- Set a spending budget before playing and treat it as an entertainment expense.
- Decide how long you will play and take regular breaks away from the screen.
- Never chase losses or increase stakes because you feel due for a win.
- Do not gamble with money needed for rent, bills, food, education or other essential costs.
- Avoid gambling when you are upset, tired, under the influence of alcohol or trying to escape personal problems.
- Keep gambling separate from borrowing, credit intended for essential spending and money belonging to someone else.
- Do not rely on gambling to create income or resolve financial pressure.
- Keep an honest record of deposits, withdrawals, time spent and the effect gambling has on your routine.
- Talk to someone you trust if you notice changes in your mood, finances or relationships.
- Use a cooling-off period or self-exclusion promptly if you feel that your normal limits are no longer effective.
Taking a break is appropriate at any time, whether or not a player believes there is a serious problem. Responsible gambling is an ongoing choice that should be reviewed as personal circumstances change.
