Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment Only

At TheBonbo.com, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we strive to provide an enjoyable gaming experience, it's crucial that you gamble responsibly and within your means.

Remember: the house always has a mathematical advantage. Never gamble more than you can afford to lose, and always set strict limits before you begin.

Age Verification

Online casino gaming in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age in your province, whichever is higher). TheBonbo.com requires all users to verify their age before accessing our platform.

If you are under the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction, we urge you not to attempt to circumvent age restrictions. If you are aware of a minor engaging in online gambling, please report it to the appropriate authorities.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop quickly and affect your mental health, relationships, and finances. Be aware of these warning signs:

• Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding your gambling: Keeping your gaming activities secret from family or friends
• Loss of control: Being unable to stick to time or money limits you've set
• Gambling with money you need: Using rent, utility, or grocery money to gamble
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
• Borrowing to gamble: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling activities
• Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when not gambling
• Escalating bets: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or other emotional problems

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it's time to seek help.

Most reputable online casinos, including TheBonbo.com partners, offer tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before you must stop playing
• Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to remind you to take breaks
• Reality Checks: Receive regular pop-up notifications about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a casino platform
