Player Control Tools at Chumba Casino Canada
All responsible gaming tools are accessible through the Responsible Social Gameplay section in your account side menu after logging in. These tools are available to all Canadian players in eligible provinces.
Set in-session pop-up notifications at intervals of 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes. When the timer expires, a notification appears showing how long you have been playing and prompting a pause. Available in all game modes including live casino.
How to set: Account menu → Responsible Social Gameplay → Activity Reminders → Select interval
Set a maximum session length. Once your limit is reached, you are automatically logged out regardless of whether you are mid-game. The session limit resets the next time you log in.
How to set: Account menu → Responsible Social Gameplay → Session Limits
Full record of all Gold Coin purchases, Sweeps Coin activity, and redemptions with dates and amounts. Useful for tracking optional spending patterns over time.

Request complete, permanent closure of your Chumba Casino account. Once confirmed, the account cannot be reopened. Any eligible SC balance should be redeemed before requesting permanent closure — unredeemed balances may be forfeited.

Is Chumba Casino Gambling?
Chumba Casino is a social sweepstakes casino — not classified as gambling under Canadian federal law. Key distinctions:
- No real money is wagered — you play with virtual currencies (GC and SC)
- Gold Coins have no monetary value
- Sweeps Coins are promotional credits — not bets
- No purchase is ever required to receive or play with SC
- The model operates under sweepstakes law, not gambling regulation

Self-Exclusion Options in Canada
Self-exclusion is one of the most effective tools for players who need a break from gaming. Options exist both within Chumba Casino and through provincial programs.
Request a temporary account suspension through account settings. Navigate to Responsible Social Gameplay → Take a Break. Select your suspension period. The account is locked immediately — you cannot log in, play, or purchase GC during the suspension. SC balances are preserved.
Permanent account closure is irreversible. Contact Chumba Casino support through the Help Center and request permanent closure. Redeem any eligible SC balance before submitting the request — unredeemed balances may not be accessible after closure is confirmed.
Ontario's iGaming Ontario operates a self-exclusion system for AGCO-licensed operators including BetMGM Ontario, Bet365 Ontario, and other licensed real-money platforms. This system does not cover sweepstakes casinos like Chumba Casino. For Chumba, use the in-platform tools directly.
BCLC's GameSense program includes self-exclusion options for PlayNow.com. Does not extend to sweepstakes platforms. Use Chumba Casino's in-platform suspension tools for Chumba specifically. Contact BCLC GameSense at 1-888-795-6111 for additional support.
