Responsible Play Statement
CoastToCoastWin supports a steady and mindful approach to number-based activities for adults in Canada. This page presents our guidelines, general expectations, and information about available assistance.
1. Core principles
Number-based play should remain an optional pastime rather than a financial method or a response to personal, work-related, or family issues. Participation is best kept occasional, balanced, and compatible with your broader commitments.
2. Age restrictions
CoastToCoastWin is intended exclusively for adults who are legally authorised to take part in number-based activities within their province or territory in Canada. You must be at least 19 years of age, or meet any higher local requirement, to access and use the website.
3. Warning signs to watch for
Please remain attentive to your behaviour and consider asking for guidance if you recognise any of these indicators:
- You feel compelled to join number sessions more frequently than intended.
- You dedicate more time or funds to number-based play than feels comfortable.
- You attempt to regain previous losses by increasing participation or intensity.
- You hide your involvement from friends, relatives, or colleagues.
- Your sleep, work routines, or relationships are negatively affected by participation.
4. Practical guidelines for balanced play
To help maintain a measured and thoughtful relationship with number-based activities, keep in mind:
- Define a clear time and spending limit beforehand, and stay within those boundaries.
- Approach participation as occasional leisure rather than a source of income.
- Take periodic breaks and avoid extended uninterrupted sessions.
- Monitor how often you participate and reflect on how you feel afterwards.
- Avoid taking part when tired, stressed, under the influence, or feeling emotionally unsettled.
5. Self-control tools
When helpful, consider using tools that support self-regulation, such as reminders, written notes, calendar alerts, or personal limits. If you feel that additional support is needed, you may speak with a professional service to explore structured limit-setting or self-exclusion options.
6. External resources and support
If number-based activities begin to feel difficult to manage or start affecting your day-to-day life, we encourage you to seek assistance from independent organisations. Examples include:
- Helplines and counselling services focused on gambling concerns within your province or territory.
- Independent groups offering self-assessment tools, educational resources, and general guidance.
- Health professionals who can help evaluate how participation influences your well-being.
Additional links are available on our main page, including resources related to responsible play and self-exclusion.
7. Information and limits of responsibility
CoastToCoastWin shares information about weekly number sessions but does not handle personal financial accounts. While we promote clear and responsible messaging, we cannot influence individual choices made outside the website. You remain responsible for your own actions and for seeking assistance when needed.
8. Regulatory expectations
CoastToCoastWin aims to follow relevant regulatory expectations and responsible play standards across Canada, including those communicated by provincial authorities. Messaging may be revised as guidance develops.
