Responsible Gambling at Haz Casino
At Haz Casino, we believe that online gambling should remain what it was always meant to be: a form of entertainment. While the majority of our Canadian players enjoy their time on the platform without any issues, we also recognize that gambling carries certain risks. That is why we have built a set of tools, policies, and partnerships designed to keep your experience safe, transparent, and entirely within your control.
This page outlines our responsible gambling commitments, the tools available to you as a player, and the external resources you can turn to if you or someone close to you needs support.
Our Position on Responsible Gambling
Haz Casino operates under Curacao gaming licence number 8048/JAZ2014-037 and is committed to meeting international standards for player protection. We take our duty of care seriously and have aligned our responsible gambling practices with widely recognized frameworks used across the Canadian market.
We do not view responsible gambling as a regulatory checkbox. It is a core part of how we operate, and it shapes everything from how we design our promotions to how our customer support team interacts with players who may be at risk.
Age Verification and Underage Gambling Prevention
Gambling is strictly an adult activity. To register an account at Haz Casino, you must be at least 18 years old. In Canadian provinces where the legal gambling age is 19 (including British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Saskatchewan), the higher age requirement applies.
During registration, we collect your date of birth and may request government-issued photo identification as part of our Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process. If we determine at any point that a player is underage, their account will be immediately suspended, all pending wagers will be voided, and any deposited funds will be returned.
We strongly encourage parents and guardians to use internet filtering tools to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites. Free software such as BetBlocker (betblocker.org) can be installed on phones, tablets, and computers to block access to thousands of gambling sites, including ours.
Player Protection Tools
Haz Casino provides several built-in features that allow you to manage your gambling activity on your own terms. You can access these tools at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team.
Deposit Limits
You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your account. Once a limit is reached, the system will automatically block further deposits for the remainder of that period. Lowering a deposit limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit, however, requires a cooling-off period before the change becomes active. This is a deliberate safeguard to prevent impulsive decisions.
Session Time Reminders
You can activate session reminders that will notify you at regular intervals about how long you have been playing. These notifications appear as on-screen messages and are designed to prompt you to take a break, check your balance, and assess whether you want to continue playing.
Loss Limits
Setting a loss limit helps you control how much you are prepared to lose within a defined time frame. If your net losses reach the amount you have set, the system will restrict further play until the limit resets.
Wagering Limits
Similar to loss limits, wagering limits let you cap the total amount you stake over a given period. This is especially useful if you want to maintain a steady approach to your bankroll without the risk of escalating your bets under pressure.
Reality Checks
Our reality check feature gives you periodic summaries of your session activity, including time spent, total bets placed, and net results. These snapshots give you a clear picture of your play, which can sometimes look quite different from what you perceive in the moment.
Temporary Account Suspension (Cooling-Off Period)
If you feel you need a short break from gambling, you can temporarily suspend your account for a period of 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or any custom duration you choose. During this time, you will not be able to log in, place bets, or make deposits. Promotional emails and notifications will also be paused. Your account will automatically reopen at the end of the chosen period.
Self-Exclusion
For players who feel they need a longer or more definitive break, Haz Casino offers a self-exclusion option. You can choose to self-exclude for a minimum of 6 months, with longer periods available upon request. During self-exclusion, your account will be locked, any remaining balance will be made available for withdrawal, and you will be removed from all marketing communications.
Requesting self-exclusion is straightforward: contact our support team at [email protected] or through the live chat available 24/7 on our website. Please note that self-exclusion is a serious commitment, and we will not reverse it before the agreed-upon period has ended.
Permanent Account Closure
If you decide that online gambling is no longer for you, we will permanently close your account upon request. Any remaining balance will be returned to you through your original deposit method, subject to our standard withdrawal procedures and any applicable verification requirements.
Recognizing Problem Gambling
Problem gambling does not always look the way people expect. It can develop gradually, and many individuals do not realize they are affected until the consequences become difficult to ignore. Below are some warning signs that may indicate your gambling has moved beyond entertainment.
You are spending more money than you can afford to lose. You are borrowing money or selling belongings to fund your gambling. You feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut back or stop. You are chasing losses by placing larger or more frequent bets after a losing session. You are neglecting work, studies, family obligations, or personal responsibilities because of gambling. You are lying to family, friends, or colleagues about how much time or money you spend on gambling. You are gambling to cope with stress, depression, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties. You have tried to stop or reduce your gambling but have been unable to do so.
If any of these patterns sound familiar, we encourage you to take action. There is no judgement attached to seeking help, and there are professionals across Canada who are trained to support people in exactly this situation.
Tips for Staying in Control
Keeping gambling safe and enjoyable is easier when you follow a few practical guidelines.
Treat gambling as entertainment, not as a source of income. Set a budget before you start playing and stick to it regardless of whether you are winning or losing. Set a time limit for each session and use our session reminder tools to stay aware. Never chase your losses. If you have had a losing session, accept it and walk away. Avoid gambling when you are upset, stressed, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Take regular breaks during your sessions. Balance gambling with other hobbies and activities that have nothing to do with betting. Do not borrow money to gamble, and do not use funds allocated for essential expenses like rent, bills, or groceries.
