Responsible Gaming
At Oha Casino, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming and ensuring that our platform remains a safe and enjoyable environment for all players in Canada. This page outlines the tools, policies, and resources we provide to help you maintain control over your gambling activity. We encourage you to read this information carefully and to use the available features to manage your play responsibly.
Understanding the Risks
Gambling should always be approached as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. While most players enjoy casino games without issue, it is important to recognize that gambling carries inherent risks, including the potential for financial loss and the development of problem gambling behaviours. Being aware of these risks is the first step toward responsible play. If you ever feel that your gambling is becoming a problem, we urge you to take action early.
Player Protection Tools
We provide a range of tools that allow you to set limits on your activity. These controls are designed to help you stay within your personal comfort zone and to prevent excessive play. All limits can be adjusted or removed, but changes that increase limits typically take effect after a cooling-off period to support responsible decision-making.
Deposit Limits
You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit on your account. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits can be made until the period resets. To set or change your deposit limit, simply contact our support team via the live chat widget (Intercom) and the limit will be applied immediately. This is one of the most effective ways to manage your spending.
Time-Out and Cool-Off Periods
If you need a short break from gambling, you can request a time-out or cool-off period. During this time, your account will be temporarily suspended, and you will not be able to log in or place any bets. Cool-off periods can range from 24 hours to several weeks, depending on your needs. After the period ends, your account will be automatically reactivated.
Self-Exclusion
For players who feel they need a longer break or wish to permanently close their account for gambling-related reasons, we offer a self-exclusion program. To self-exclude, send an email to our support team with the keyword SELF-EXCLUDE in the subject line. Once self-exclusion is activated, your account will be closed and you will not be able to reopen it for the duration of the exclusion period. We also recommend that you self-exclude from all other gambling sites and seek professional help if needed.
Age Verification and Underage Gambling
Oha Casino strictly prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from using our services. We conduct age verification as part of our Know Your Customer (KYC) process, which is required before any withdrawal can be processed. If we discover that a minor has created an account, the account will be closed immediately and any winnings will be forfeited. We encourage parents and guardians to use internet filtering software to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites.
Recognizing Problem Gambling
It is important to be aware of the warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem. These can include:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Lying to family or friends about gambling activity
- Chasing losses or trying to win back money that has been lost
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Feeling irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
- Neglecting work, school, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, we strongly encourage you to seek help from the support organizations listed below.

Keeping Gambling Fun
To help ensure that gambling remains a positive activity, we recommend the following guidelines:
- Set a budget before you start playing and stick to it.
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
- Take regular breaks and do not chase losses.
- Balance gambling with other hobbies and social activities.
- Never gamble under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Remember that gambling is not a solution to financial problems. If you find yourself struggling to follow these guidelines, please use the protection tools available on your account or contact our support team for guidance.
