Responsible Gaming
Observe: Gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money. Expand: Responsible gaming means setting personal limits, recognizing risks early, and using built‑in protections. Reflect: bluefox-casino, operated for Canadian customers via bluefox-ca.com by ProgressPlay Limited (MGA/B2C/231/2012; UKGC 39335), offers tools and support to help you stay in control. If gambling stops being fun, we will assist you with limits, breaks, and professional referrals.
Risk Awareness
Observe: Problem gambling can develop gradually and may be hard to self-detect. Expand: Look for changes in time spent, spending patterns, and mood. Reflect: If several indicators apply, use our tools below and contact support or a helpline.
- Increasing bet sizes or deposits to "win back" losses (chasing).
- Thinking about gambling when doing other activities; preoccupation with the next session.
- Playing longer than intended; losing track of time or skipping obligations.
- Hiding gambling from family or friends; feeling guilt after play.
- Depositing after midnight or immediately after a loss; repeated declined transactions.
- Using funds meant for bills, credit, or essentials.
- Feeling irritable when unable to play; using gambling to escape stress or low mood.
Self‑assessment mini‑check
- I often gamble longer or spend more than I plan.
- I have tried to cut down but could not.
- I gamble to cope with stress, anxiety, or sadness.
- My gambling has affected my work, studies, or relationships.
- I have borrowed money or sold items to fund gambling.
Answering "yes" to two or more suggests risk. Consider limits, Time‑Out, or Self‑Exclusion and seek confidential help.
Limits & Tools
Observe: Limits reduce risk by capping time and spend. Expand: Set them before or during play; decreases apply immediately, increases only after a cooling‑off period. Reflect: Use conservative amounts aligned to discretionary income-not credit or essential funds.
Deposit limits (daily/weekly/monthly)
- Log in at bluefox-ca.com. Go to My Account > Responsible Gaming > Limits.
- Select Deposit Limits and choose a period: Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
- Enter a CAD amount you can afford (e.g., 50/day; 150/week; 300/month).
- Confirm. Decreases take effect immediately. Increases become active only after a minimum 24-hour cooling‑off and explicit reconfirmation.
Legal note: Limits cap deposits across this account only. We may apply additional operator-level caps based on risk assessments.
Time spent limits and session reminders
- Open My Account > Responsible Gaming > Time Limits.
- Set a Session Timer (e.g., reminders every 30/45/60 minutes).
- Optionally set a Daily Play Cap (e.g., 60-180 minutes). You will be logged out when reached.
Taking a short break (Time‑Out 24-72 hours)
- Go to My Account > Responsible Gaming > Time‑Out.
- Choose a duration: 24, 48, or 72 hours.
- Confirm. You will be logged out and cannot deposit or play during the Time‑Out. The period cannot be shortened once started.
Regional compliance note (CA): Age limits apply: 19+ in most provinces; 18+ in AB, MB, QC. This site is not provincially licensed in Canada; we apply MGA/UKGC safer-gambling standards to Canadian customers of bluefox-ca.com.
Self‑Exclusion
Observe: When risk is high, temporary or permanent exclusion is the safest step. Expand: Self‑Exclusion blocks access and marketing. Reflect: Choose the longest period you feel necessary; we can help you decide confidentially.
How to self‑exclude
- Log in and open My Account > Responsible Gaming > Self‑Exclusion (or request via live chat/email).
- Select a period: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or Lifetime.
- Read the summary of consequences and check the confirmation box.
- Click Confirm. We will immediately log you out and send a confirmation to your registered email.
- If you cannot access your account, email customersupport@instantgamesupport.com with subject "Self‑Exclusion - bluefox-ca.com" from your registered email.
Consequences and important terms
- Access blocked: You cannot log in, deposit, or play until the period ends (lifetime is permanent).
- Marketing: We will cease promotional emails/SMS where technically feasible.
- Balances: Real‑money balances can be withdrawn on request subject to KYC, security checks, and settlement of pending transactions. Bonus funds and incomplete wagering are forfeited.
- Open bets: Where applicable, unsettled bets will be settled; subsequent access remains blocked.
- Early return: Self‑Exclusion cannot be shortened. After a fixed term ends, reactivation (if requested) includes a minimum 24‑hour cooling‑off and a safer‑gambling assessment. Lifetime exclusions are not reopened.
Regional note (CA): Provincial self‑exclusion (e.g., iGaming Ontario "My PlayBreak", provincial lotteries/casinos) does not automatically cover bluefox-ca.com. Consider enrolling separately with those programs if you use them.
