Responsible Gaming
Responsible gaming is a shared commitment between you and King Billy Casino to keep play as a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. The goal of this page is to help you make informed, conscious choices about when, how, and how much you gamble. If at any time you feel that your gambling is becoming difficult to control, King Billy Casino, operated via kingbilly-ca.com, provides tools, information, and access to support so you can set limits, take a break, or seek professional help when needed.
Risk Awareness
Most players in Canada use online gambling for fun, but for a minority it can become harmful. Being aware of early warning signs allows you to react before problems escalate. Gambling-related harm can affect your finances, mental health, work or studies, and relationships.
Common Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
- Increased frequency and stakes: You are betting more often, with higher amounts, to feel the same level of excitement.
- Preoccupation with gambling: You think about the casino when you are at work, at school, or with family, and plan how to gamble again as soon as possible.
- Chasing losses: You return to kingbilly-ca.com (or any gambling site) mainly to try to win back money you have lost.
- Loss of control: You gamble longer than intended or spend more than the budget you set for yourself, even when you had decided to stop.
- Hiding behaviour: You lie about how much time or money you spend gambling, or you hide statements, receipts, or devices from others.
- Borrowing and financial pressure: You borrow money, sell possessions, delay bills, or use funds intended for essentials (rent, food, utilities) to gamble.
- Emotional distress: You feel guilt, shame, anxiety, irritability, or depression connected to gambling, especially after sessions.
- Impact on daily life: Gambling causes conflicts in relationships, absence or poor performance at work or school, or loss of interest in previous hobbies.
Self-Assessment: Quick Check of Your Gambling Behaviour
Read the following statements and ask yourself whether they apply to you "never", "sometimes", "often", or "almost always". If you answer "often" or "almost always" to several items, consider using the tools described on this page and contacting a professional support service.
- I spend more money on gambling than I can comfortably afford to lose.
- I gamble longer than I had planned, even when I tell myself I will stop.
- I have tried to reduce or stop gambling but found it difficult.
- I gamble to escape problems, stress, loneliness, or unpleasant emotions.
- I feel guilty or ashamed about my gambling and try to hide it from others.
- I have borrowed money, sold items, or delayed important payments to finance gambling.
- Arguments with family or friends are related to my gambling.
- Thoughts about gambling distract me from work, studies, or family responsibilities.
Important: This test is only for self-reflection and is not a diagnosis. If you are worried about your answers, contact one of the support resources listed below or speak with a health professional in your province or territory.
Limits & Tools
King Billy Casino, accessible via kingbilly-ca.com, provides a set of responsible gaming tools to help you remain in control. These tools are designed to allow you to set clear boundaries before you start playing and to support you if you feel your behaviour is changing.
Deposit Limits (Daily, Weekly, Monthly)
Deposit limits help you control how much money you can transfer to your casino account within a chosen period. Once the limit is reached, you will not be able to deposit more until the period resets.
- Access your account: Log in to your player account on kingbilly-ca.com and go to the "Profile" or "Account" section in the main menu.
- Open Responsible Gaming: Select the "Responsible Gaming" or "Limits" subsection.
- Choose type of limit: You will typically see options for:
- Daily deposit limit (24-hour period)
- Weekly deposit limit (7-day period)
- Monthly deposit limit (calendar month)
- Enter your maximum amounts: In each field, enter the maximum amount (in CAD or other available currency) that you are willing to deposit in that period. For example:
- Daily: 50 CAD
- Weekly: 150 CAD
- Monthly: 400 CAD
- Confirm and save: Review the figures and confirm the changes. The system will apply the new limits immediately or from the next period, depending on the direction of the change.
Adjustment rules: Lowering your deposit limits usually takes effect immediately. Increasing limits may be subject to a "cooling-off" period (for example 24 hours or longer), as a protective measure, and you may be asked to reconfirm your decision after this period.
Time Limits and Session Management
Time-based tools help you monitor how long you stay logged in and playing.
- Session timer: Within the "Responsible Gaming" or "Session Control" area of your account, you can activate a session timer. You select a maximum continuous session duration (e.g., 30, 60, or 120 minutes). When this limit is reached, a notification will appear and you may be automatically logged out or prompted to take a break before continuing.
- Reality checks / pop-up reminders: You may enable periodic on-screen messages that show the time spent on the site and your net result for the session. Typical intervals are every 15, 30, or 60 minutes. When a message appears, you can:
- Confirm you have read it and continue playing; or
- Decide to log out and return later.
Short-Term Breaks ("Time-Out")
If you need a short pause without fully closing your account, you can activate a Time-Out period.
- Navigate to Time-Out: Log in, open "Account" > "Responsible Gaming" and select the "Time-Out" or "Short Break" option.
- Select duration: Choose a period (for example 24 hours, 48 hours, or 72 hours) during which you will not be able to place bets or make deposits.
- Confirm the break: Read the explanation of the consequences and click "Confirm" or a similar button to activate the Time-Out.
- During Time-Out: You will not be able to place wagers. In many cases, logins or some account functions may also be restricted to protect you from impulse play.
At the end of the Time-Out period, access is typically restored automatically. If you feel that a longer break is necessary, please consider the self-exclusion options described below.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a stronger protective measure that allows you to block access to your account for an extended period, or permanently. It is intended for players who experience or are at high risk of gambling-related harm. King Billy Casino offers self-exclusion in line with best practices and applicable standards for Canadian players (excluding Ontario, where registration is not permitted).
How to Request Self-Exclusion
- Log in to your account (if possible): Access kingbilly-ca.com and open the "Account" or "Profile" section.
- Go to Self-Exclusion: Click on "Responsible Gaming" and then select the "Self-Exclusion" tab or link.
- Choose the exclusion period: You will be able to select a duration, for example:
- 6 months
- 1 year
- 2 years
- 5 years
- Lifetime (permanent exclusion)
- Read the conditions: Carefully review the description of what self-exclusion means, including the loss of access to your account and restrictions on opening new accounts.
- Confirm your decision: Tick the confirmation box, if present, stating that you understand the conditions, and click "Confirm", "Self-Exclude", or the equivalent button. You may be asked to reconfirm by entering your password or a code sent by e-mail.
- Alternative contact method: If you prefer not to use the online form or cannot log in, you may request self-exclusion by contacting customer support at [email protected]. For legal and security reasons, King Billy Casino may ask you to verify your identity and confirm your request in writing.
Consequences of Self-Exclusion
- Account access: During self-exclusion you will not be able to log in, place bets, make deposits, or participate in promotions on kingbilly-ca.com. Attempts to create new accounts may be detected and closed.
- Marketing communications: The operator will take reasonable steps to stop sending you marketing e-mails or promotional messages linked to King Billy Casino for the duration of the self-exclusion.
- Balance and withdrawals: Depending on the timing and applicable terms and conditions, your remaining real-money balance may be processed in accordance with the general withdrawal and verification rules. In some cases, you may be asked to contact [email protected] to arrange a withdrawal of eligible funds. Bonus funds may be forfeited in line with the bonus terms and conditions.
- Irreversibility of permanent exclusion: Lifetime self-exclusions are generally considered final. Temporary self-exclusions cannot usually be lifted early. Requests to reopen an account after the end of a fixed period may be subject to a review, and reopening may be refused if there are ongoing responsible gaming concerns.
Note: Self-exclusion on kingbilly-ca.com applies only to this specific platform and does not automatically block you from other gambling websites or land-based venues. We strongly recommend combining our internal tools with external self-exclusion and blocking solutions, as described below.

National and Regional Self-Exclusion Schemes
If you also gamble with operators based in other jurisdictions, you may be able to use national exclusion registers that block you from multiple licensed sites in that country. Examples include:
- United Kingdom - GamStop: Free service that allows players to self-exclude from all online gambling operators licensed in Great Britain. Website: gamstop.co.uk.
- Spain - RGIAJ: The Spanish General Directorate for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ) maintains the "Registro General de Interdicciones de Acceso al Juego" (RGIAJ), which allows individuals to prohibit their access to licensed gambling operators in Spain. Information is available via the DGOJ website.
Note: These schemes do not automatically apply to kingbilly-ca.com, which is operated under an offshore licence (Curaçao). You should use our internal self-exclusion tools in combination with any external national schemes that are relevant to you.
Website and App Blocking Tools
Blocking software can help you prevent access to gambling sites and apps from your devices:

Confidentiality: When you contact King Billy Casino at [email protected] or external support services, your information is handled confidentially in accordance with the applicable privacy policy and legal obligations.
Help for Family
Gambling problems rarely affect only the person who plays. Family members, partners, and friends may experience stress, financial pressure, and emotional strain. It is important to protect your own well-being while encouraging the person you care about to seek help.
How to Talk to Someone About Their Gambling
- Choose the right moment: Speak when the person is calm and not currently gambling or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Use non-judgmental language: Describe how their behaviour affects you using "I" statements (for example, "I feel worried when..."), and avoid insults or threats.
- Listen actively: Allow them to express their feelings and concerns without interruption. Acknowledge that stopping or reducing gambling can be difficult.
- Focus on solutions: Discuss practical steps, such as using account limits, self-exclusion, or contacting a helpline together.
Support Resources for Families
- Family support groups: Organizations such as Gam-Anon (gam-anon.org) and some regional problem gambling services offer meetings, forums, and chat rooms where relatives can talk with others in similar situations.
- Online forums: Several reputable addiction support websites host moderated forums specifically for families and partners of people experiencing gambling problems.
Recommended Next Steps
- Encourage professional help: Suggest that the person speak with a psychotherapist, counsellor, or doctor experienced in addiction treatment. In many Canadian provinces, treatment services for problem gambling are free or subsidized.
- Use emergency support if necessary: If there is a risk of self-harm or harm to others, contact emergency services or your local crisis hotline immediately.
- Protect your finances: Consider taking practical measures such as separating bank accounts, setting joint financial rules, or seeking financial counselling.
- Seek help for yourself: Even if the other person is not ready to change, you can obtain emotional and practical support for yourself from helplines, therapists, and support groups.
Operator's Commitment
King Billy Casino, operated through kingbilly-ca.com by Dama N.V. under licence 8048/JAZ2020-013 (Curaçao), is committed to promoting responsible gaming in line with recognised industry standards and applicable requirements for offering services to Canadian residents outside Ontario.

Internal Risk-Check and Monitoring Procedures

These checks are designed to identify potential risk indicators and are conducted in compliance with the applicable privacy policy.

- Age and identity verification: King Billy Casino takes measures to prevent underage gambling and to verify the identity of players, including through "Know Your Customer" (KYC) procedures and document checks, in accordance with licence requirements and anti-money laundering obligations.
Proactive Communication and Intervention
- Informational messages: If your activity suggests an increased risk of harm, you may receive on-site notifications or e-mails reminding you of the available limits, Time-Outs, and self-exclusion tools, and providing links to support organizations.
- Direct contact by support: In certain circumstances, and where permitted by applicable law, the responsible gaming or customer support team may proactively contact you using the contact details provided on your account. This may occur, for example, when:
- Your deposit or loss levels within a defined timeframe significantly deviate from normal recreational patterns;
- You request frequent or repeated increases to responsible gaming limits;

- Protective measures: Depending on the seriousness of the situation, King Billy Casino may:

- Apply or recommend self-exclusion in line with this policy and the general Terms & Conditions.
