Responsible Gambling at Bananzia
Play at Bananzia is paid entertainment, and the single habit that protects it best is deciding the amount before the session rather than during it. The tools that are described below exist on your account today, and each of them is set in writing, so that the decision that was made on a calm day is kept by us on a difficult one.
Tools on your account
| Tool | What it does | How it is set |
|---|---|---|
| Stake and deposit limit | Caps the amount that can be bet or deposited in a period | Requested through support; a change takes effect 24 hours after the last update |
| Temporary self-exclusion | Closes the account for a chosen period | E-mail to block@bananzia.com |
| Permanent self-exclusion | Closes the account for good | E-mail to block@bananzia.com |
| Self-assessment | Seven questions about your gambling habits | Responsible gambling page on the site |

A limit that is lowered applies at once, while a request to raise it is held by us for 24 hours, which gives a second calm look at the decision. The self-assessment is short, and an honest answer to its seven questions is the usual first step before a limit or a break is requested.
Warning signs
- You deposit again on the same day to win back a loss.
- The amount that was decided before the session is exceeded more often than it is kept.
- Sessions run late into the night and the time passes unnoticed.
- Money for bills or groceries is used for play.
- Play is hidden from people close to you.
- A break that was planned is postponed again and again.
Habits that keep it entertainment
- Set the budget before the first spin, because a figure that is chosen in advance is easier to keep than one chosen mid-session.
- Write a deposit limit to support in the first week, since a limit that exists before a loss is the one that is used.
- Play a volatile slot at a lower stake, because the swings are what empty a budget fastest.
- Take a break after a big win or a big loss, since both change judgement for a while.
- Keep play away from money that is already spoken for, so that a bad evening stays a bad evening.
Getting help
A self-exclusion is requested by you through block@bananzia.com, and the confirmation that we send back is worth keeping, because the account is not reopened by us during the chosen period even on request. Independent organisations that help with gambling problems are available in Canada and online, and a conversation with one of them is reasonable at the first sign rather than the last.
