Responsible Gaming Policy

Our Commitment

Espace Jeux is dedicated to:

1. Preventing underage gambling through strict verification procedures
2. Providing transparent information about games, odds, and potential risks
3. Offering tools that help players monitor and control their gambling activities
4. Training our staff to recognize signs of potential gambling problems
5. Supporting players who may be experiencing gambling-related harm

Player Protection Tools

Deposit Limits

Players can set restrictions on their account including daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits. These limits help manage spending and can be adjusted through the “Responsible Gaming” section of your account. Limit decreases take effect immediately, while increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period.

Time Management

To help monitor playing time, we offer session time reminders that notify you after a specified period. Reality checks display your session duration and net wins/losses, while daily time limits restrict access after a predetermined period.

Loss Limits and Cool-Off Periods

Players can establish maximum loss thresholds on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once these limits are reached, placing additional bets will be restricted until the time period resets.

For players who need a short break from gambling, cool-off periods can be activated for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off period, you cannot access your account for gaming, though withdrawal functions remain available.

Self-Exclusion Options

Players concerned about their gambling habits can self-exclude for:

1. 6 months
2. 1 year
3. 5 years
4. Permanently

During self-exclusion, your account will be deactivated, deposits are blocked, and promotional communications cease. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the selected period ends.

Self-Assessment

We provide assessment tools to help players evaluate their gambling habits. A responsible gaming quiz helps identify potential risk patterns, while personal play history records show detailed activity over time. We also offer guidelines for recognizing problematic gambling behavior. These resources are accessible in the “Responsible Gaming” section of our platform.

We conduct regular account reviews to ensure compliance and immediately close accounts if underage play is discovered. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to use content-filtering software to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites.

All Espace Jeux staff members receive comprehensive training on:

1. Responsible gaming principles and best practices
2. Identifying potential signs of problem gambling
