Gambling is entertainment and should remain within comfortable limits. Here, we outlined practical tools and support routes for Canadian customers, so play stays balanced and in control. Besides, we summarized the restrictions available on the site (limits, time‑outs, and exclusions) and where to find confidential help if gambling stops being fun.
What is Responsible Gambling?
Responsible gambling means setting clear limits on time and money, playing for leisure rather than income, and stepping back when sessions no longer feel enjoyable. The platform provides account‑level controls that are designed to support these habits:
- Deposit and stake limits: daily, weekly, or monthly caps. A request to increase or revoke a limit takes effect only after a minimum 24‑hour cooling‑off period. If a deposit limit is set to zero, changing or revoking it requires a six‑month waiting period via written notice.
- Session tools: reality checks, reminders, and optional access restrictions to specific sections.
- Time‑outs and self‑exclusion: temporary or permanent blocks. Available durations include 1, 3, or 6 months; 1–5 years; and lifetime.
- Marketing controls: opt out of email, SMS, push notifications, and bonus offers in profile settings or by contacting support.
Requests for restrictions can be made via live chat or by emailing block@22bet.com. Include the account ID and specify the limit or exclusion period required. Once processed, access is restricted for the chosen term, and promotional messages are disabled.
While self‑exclusion is active, do not attempt to open another account; the company cannot be held responsible for activity on new accounts created under different details.
Signs of Problems
Early awareness helps. Consider taking a break and setting stricter limits if any of the following begin to appear:
- Spending more than planned or raising stakes to recover losses.
- Hiding gambling from family or friends, or feeling guilty after sessions.
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or problems at work or school.
- Borrowing money, selling belongings, or missing bills to continue playing.
- Feeling restless or irritable when not gambling, or chasing losses after a bad day.
- Difficulty stopping once a session starts, or neglecting important commitments.
Two or more signs together suggest it is time to pause, apply restrictions, and consider external support.
RegistrationHow to Get Professional Help
If control is slipping, combine site tools with specialist guidance:
- Activate protections: set stricter deposit/stake limits, apply a time‑out, or request self‑exclusion via live chat or block@22bet.com (include your account ID and chosen duration).
- Disable marketing: turn off emails, SMS, push notifications, and bonus prompts in profile settings or via support, so triggers are reduced.
