Responsible Gaming
Responsible gaming is the guiding principle that encourages a conscious, informed approach to gambling, ensuring that play remains an enjoyable form of entertainment and never causes harm. At wheelz-casino-ca.com, we are fully committed to supporting our players by providing clear information, effective tools, and access to resources that help maintain control over gambling activity at all times.
Risk Awareness
OBSERVE: Signs of problematic gambling can be subtle and may develop gradually. EXPAND: The following are common indicators of potential gambling addiction:
- Spending increasing amounts of time or money on gambling activities
- Chasing losses or betting more than originally intended
- Thinking about gambling outside of play sessions or feeling anxious when not gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, family, or social obligations due to gambling
- Concealing gambling behavior from friends or family
Recognizing these signs early is critical to maintaining control. REFLECT: We encourage our players to regularly self-assess their gaming behavior. Please consider the following self-assessment questions:
- Do you ever gamble with money intended for other purposes?
- Have you tried to cut back on gambling and found it difficult?
- Do you feel restless or irritable when trying to stop gambling?
- Has gambling caused problems in your relationships or at work?
- Do you feel the need to increase your bets to achieve the same excitement?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, we strongly recommend utilizing our responsible gaming tools and seeking support through the resources listed on this page.
Limits & Tools
OBSERVE: Setting personal limits is an essential protective measure for responsible play. EXPAND: wheelz-casino-ca.com provides accessible tools for players to manage their gambling activity:
Deposit Limits
- Where to Set: Log in to your account, navigate to "My Profile" > "Responsible Gaming" > "Deposit Limits".
- How to Set: Enter your preferred daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in the respective fields. These limits restrict the maximum amount you can deposit within the selected periods.
- Legal Obligation: Once set, deposit limits cannot be increased immediately; any request to raise a limit will only take effect after a 24-hour cooling-off period, in accordance with CA regulations. Lowering limits applies instantly.
Time Limits & Session Controls
- Session Timers: Set a maximum duration for each gaming session in "Responsible Gaming" settings. You will receive notifications when your session approaches this limit.
- Time-Outs: Take a voluntary break by enabling a "Time-Out" for 24, 48, or 72 hours. During this period, your account will be inaccessible for gambling activity, ensuring enforced rest from play.
REFLECT: Utilizing these tools helps maintain healthy gaming habits and ensures play remains within your personal boundaries. For guidance on setting limits or making adjustments, please contact our support team at [email protected].
Self-Exclusion
OBSERVE: Self-exclusion is a formal process that restricts access to your account for a chosen period. EXPAND: wheelz-casino-ca.com strictly adheres to CA regulatory standards to provide robust self-exclusion options for all players.
- Initiate Self-Exclusion: Log in and go to "My Profile" > "Responsible Gaming" > "Self-Exclusion".

- Confirm Decision: Review the terms and confirm your choice. This action is irreversible for the selected period and is immediately enforced.
- Support Contact: If you require assistance with self-exclusion, email [email protected]. Our team can guide you through the process or implement exclusion upon verified request.
