Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming means treating online casino play as entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. On Ruby Fortune, accessed via rubyfortune-win.com, you are encouraged to observe your own habits, set clear limits, and reflect regularly on whether gambling still feels fun and affordable. The operator provides tools, information and confidential support to help you stay in control, and will take proactive steps where required by law and by its licenses to protect players who may be at risk.

Risk Awareness

Gambling involves real financial risk and can lead to harm if it stops being recreational. It is important to observe early warning signs and expand your awareness of how often, why, and with how much money you play.

Signs of Potential Gambling Problems

• Increasing time and money spent: You play more often, for longer sessions, or for higher stakes than you planned.
• Thinking about gambling constantly: You frequently think about rubyfortune-win.com or other gambling, even at work, school, or during family time.
• Chasing losses: You return to play immediately after losing, raising bets in an attempt to "win back" money.
• Borrowing or using essential funds: You use money needed for rent, food, bills, or borrow from friends, family, or lenders in order to gamble.
• Hiding your gambling: You lie about how much you play, delete transaction histories, or hide bank statements.
• Emotional changes: You feel guilt, anxiety, irritability or depression linked to gambling outcomes or time spent playing.
• Reduced interest in other activities: Hobbies, work, studies or social life become less important than gambling.
• Failed attempts to cut down: You have tried to stop or reduce your gambling but have not been able to do so.

Quick Self-Assessment Test

Answer the questions below honestly with "Yes" or "No." Reflect carefully on your responses.

• 1. Have you ever spent more time or money gambling on rubyfortune-win.com than you planned?
• 2. Do you often think about gambling when you are not playing?
• 3. Have you tried to win back money you lost by continuing to play or increasing your stakes?
• 4. Have you ever borrowed money, sold possessions, or used credit to gamble?
• 5. Have you hidden or downplayed your gambling from family, friends, or colleagues?
• 6. Have you felt anxious, guilty, or depressed after gambling?
• 7. Has gambling affected your work, studies, relationships, or finances negatively?
• 8. Have you tried to cut down or stop gambling but found you could not?

If you answered "Yes" to one or more questions, consider this an early warning sign. It is advisable to expand your safeguards by setting strict limits, taking a break, or seeking professional help using the resources listed below.

Limits & Tools

Ruby Fortune, through rubyfortune-win.com, provides tools to help you plan and control your play. By observing your current behavior and then applying limits, you can protect yourself before problems arise. Specific options and wording may vary slightly based on your jurisdiction (Ontario under Cadtree Limited; Rest of Canada under Bayton Ltd).

Deposit Limits (Daily, Weekly, Monthly)

1. Access your account: Log in to rubyfortune-win.com and go to Account or My Account.
2. Open the Responsible Gaming section: Select Responsible Gaming, Play Responsibly, or a similarly named menu item.
3. Select Deposit Limits: Choose the option to set Daily, Weekly, and/or Monthly deposit limits.
4. Enter your limits:
   • Decide the maximum amount (e.g., CAD 20 per day, CAD 100 per week, CAD 300 per month) that you can comfortably afford to lose.
   • Enter these amounts in the relevant fields for each period.
5. Confirm your choice: Review your entries and confirm. You may need to re-enter your password or confirm via an on-screen prompt.
6. Changes and cooling-off:
   • Lowering your limits usually takes effect immediately or very quickly.
   • Raising limits may only take effect after a cooling-off period (for example, 24 hours or more) to encourage reflective decision-making, in line with MGA and iGaming Ontario standards.

Legal note: Once a limit is set and confirmed, Ruby Fortune will not accept deposits above that limit for the defined period. You are responsible for setting realistic limits and ensuring they reflect your true financial situation.

Time and Session Limits

To prevent extended sessions and fatigue, you can set time-based controls:

• Session reminders: In your Responsible Gaming or Play Limits area, activate pop-up reminders (e.g., every 30, 60, or 120 minutes). The reminder will show how long you have been logged in and may summarize wins/losses to help you reflect.
• Session length caps: Where available, you can set a maximum session duration (for example, 2 hours). When reached, you will be logged out and must wait before starting a new session.
• Reality checks: These mandatory or optional notifications are aligned with regulatory expectations under the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) and iGaming Ontario frameworks, and are designed to support informed decision-making.

Short Breaks ("Time-Out" 24 - 72 Hours)

If you feel your play is becoming too intense, expand your safeguards by taking a short, structured break.

1. Locate Time-Out:
   • Log in to rubyfortune-win.com.
   • Go to Account > Responsible Gaming (or similar) and select Time-Out or Short Break.
2. Choose duration: Select a break period, such as 24, 48, or 72 hours (or any other periods offered).
3. Confirm Time-Out: Carefully read the description, then confirm. Once confirmed:
   • You will be logged out and unable to place bets or make deposits for the chosen period.
   • In some cases you may still access account history and withdrawal options, depending on regulatory requirements.
4. End of Time-Out: After your Time-Out expires, you can log in again. No early reactivation is normally permitted, to ensure the break is effective.

If you repeatedly feel the need to use Time-Outs, consider a longer self-exclusion period and contact support or a professional help service.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the strongest tool available to protect yourself when gambling is no longer under control. It is intended for situations where you recognize a serious risk and decide to suspend play for an extended period.

How to Apply Self-Exclusion

1. Access the Self-Exclusion section:
   • Log in to rubyfortune-win.com.
   • Go to Account > Responsible Gaming > Self-Exclusion (or a similarly named section).
   • If you cannot locate it, contact Customer Support via live chat or email and request guidance.
2. Select the duration:
   • Choose a period that fits your needs - for example, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or lifetime (where available).
   • Regulators such as the MGA and iGaming Ontario expect that minimum self-exclusion periods cannot be shortened once applied.
3. Confirm your decision:
   • Carefully read the on-screen explanation of consequences.
   • Confirm the exclusion by following the prompts (for example, ticking a confirmation box and pressing Confirm).
4. Contact support if needed:
   • If you need assistance, contact Customer Support and clearly state that your request concerns self-exclusion.
   • Support may ask you to verify your identity to protect your account.

Consequences of Self-Exclusion

• Account access: You will not be able to log in or place bets for the duration of the self-exclusion. Attempts to create new accounts may lead to closure of the new accounts when detected.
• Deposits and bonuses: New deposits and participation in bonuses or promotions will be blocked. Outstanding bonus balances may be forfeited according to the Terms and Conditions.
• Withdrawals and balances:
  • Real-money balances and pending withdrawals will normally be processed in line with the applicable Terms and Conditions and regulatory requirements.
  • In some cases, the operator may contact you to arrange withdrawal if you cannot access your account interface.
• Marketing communications: Ruby Fortune will take reasonable steps to stop sending you marketing materials during self-exclusion, in accordance with MGA and iGaming Ontario expectations and local privacy laws.
• Reactivation:
  • Early reactivation is not permitted. After the minimum period, certain jurisdictions require a formal request and a cooling-off period before any account is reopened.
  • Ruby Fortune reserves the right to maintain or extend self-exclusion where serious risk indicators persist.

Ontario and provincial programs: In addition to site-level self-exclusion, Ontario players can access province-wide self-exclusion and player support programs via iGaming Ontario (see igamingontario.ca). Other Canadian provinces provide similar land-based or online self-exclusion schemes through their provincial gaming authorities.

The services below are independent from Ruby Fortune and rubyfortune-win.com. They do not share your information with the operator without your consent, except where required by law.

International Support Organizations

National and Cross-Operator Self-Exclusion Schemes

Some countries operate cross-operator self-exclusion registers. These can supplement the self-exclusion tools on rubyfortune-win.com:

• United Kingdom - GAMSTOP: Free service allowing players to self-exclude from all licensed online gambling operators in Great Britain (gamstop.co.uk).
• Spain - RGIAJ: National registry of self-excluded players managed by the Spanish regulator (Registro General de Interdicciones de Acceso al Juego).
• Ontario & other Canadian provinces: Province-wide self-exclusion schemes exist for land-based casinos and, in some cases, online gambling through provincial authorities such as iGaming Ontario and others.

These schemes are operated independently from Ruby Fortune. Registration processes, durations and legal consequences vary by jurisdiction.

Blocking and Filtering Tools

• Gamban: Software that blocks access to many gambling websites and apps on your devices. It is managed by an independent provider and may involve subscription fees.
• BetBlocker: Free blocking software that prevents access to gambling sites and allows you to set long-term restrictions.
• Device-level controls: Many operating systems and routers allow you to restrict categories of websites. Parents and guardians can use these tools to help prevent minors from accessing gambling content.

These tools are provided by third parties. Ruby Fortune and rubyfortune-win.com are not responsible for their performance, availability, or any data processing by these providers.

Family Support Resources

• Gam-Anon: Support groups for family and friends of people with gambling problems (gam-anon.org).
• Local family services: Many provincial helplines in Canada can refer relatives to counseling, group therapy, or online forums specifically for affected family members.

All reputable services treat your information as confidential and are typically free of charge. If you are in immediate danger or feel at risk of self-harm, contact local emergency services or a mental health crisis line in your province.

Help for Family

Gambling-related harm can affect partners, children, and other family members. If you are concerned about someone who plays on rubyfortune-win.com or elsewhere, it is important to approach the situation carefully and seek support for yourself as well.

How to Talk to a Person You Are Worried About

• Choose the right moment: Speak when the person is calm and not currently gambling or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Use non-judgmental language: Focus on observed behaviors and their impact ("I've noticed you seem stressed and money is tight"), rather than accusations ("You are ruining everything").
• Listen actively: Give the person time to respond. Acknowledge their feelings and avoid interrupting, even if you do not agree.
• Encourage reflection and support: Suggest a self-assessment, limits, or self-exclusion, and offer to help contact a helpline or counselor.
• Set clear boundaries: Protect yourself financially and emotionally - for example, by refusing to lend money for gambling, while still expressing concern and care.

Support for Family Members

As a relative or friend, your well-being matters. Consider using specialized family support resources:

• Family support groups and forums:
  • Gam-Anon (gam-anon.org) provides meetings and resources for relatives.
  • Gambling Therapy (gamblingtherapy.org) hosts online forums and group chats for affected others.
• Provincial helplines: Canadian helplines (for example, ConnexOntario, Jeu: aide et référence, Gambling Support BC) provide confidential advice to family members, not only gamblers themselves.

Recommended Next Steps

• Contact a mental health professional: Psychologists, psychotherapists and addiction specialists can help individuals and families understand gambling disorder and develop coping strategies.
• Use crisis and suicide-prevention services when needed: If you are concerned about imminent self-harm or violence, contact emergency services or a crisis hotline immediately.
• Document financial impact: Keep records of debts, loans and shared expenses. This can help both in seeking professional advice and in planning recovery.

While Ruby Fortune cannot provide clinical counseling, its support team can assist by applying account-level protections (limits, blocks, self-exclusion) where permitted, if the account holder consents or where regulators require intervention.

Operator's Commitment

Ruby Fortune is made available to Canadian players via rubyfortune-win.com, operated by Bayton Ltd for the Rest of Canada under Malta Gaming Authority licence MGA/B2C/145/2007, and by Cadtree Limited for Ontario under the iGaming Ontario framework. These regulators require robust responsible gaming policies. The operator applies internal procedures to observe play patterns, expand protective measures when risk is detected, and reflect on the effectiveness of those measures over time.

Internal Risk Checks and Monitoring

• Behavioural analysis: The operator may monitor indicators such as deposit size and frequency, rapid wager increases, unusually long sessions, frequent bonus use, and repeated cancelled withdrawals to identify potential risk patterns.
• Automated alerts: Systems may generate alerts when certain thresholds or unusual patterns are detected, triggering further review.
• Reality checks and messages: Players may receive on-site notifications reminding them of time spent, money wagered or tools available, especially when risk indicators increase.
• Age and identity verification: Robust KYC checks help ensure that only eligible adults within the permitted jurisdictions can play, in line with MGA, iGaming Ontario and applicable Canadian requirements.

When Support May Contact You

Subject to applicable privacy and data protection laws, the Responsible Gaming or Customer Support team may contact you in situations including (but not limited to):

• Significant change in behavior: A rapid and sustained increase in deposits, stakes, or session length compared to your normal pattern.
• Repeated responsible gaming requests: Frequent use of Time-Outs, requests to remove limits, or requests to reverse self-exclusion.
• Communications indicating distress: Messages or chat conversations where you mention financial hardship, desperation, or loss of control.

Depending on the circumstances and regulatory obligations, the operator may:

• Provide information about responsible gaming tools and external support services;
• Encourage or apply lower limits, Time-Outs, or self-exclusion on your account;
• Restrict or suspend your account if necessary to prevent further harm, even without your consent, where permitted or required by iGaming Ontario, the MGA, or other relevant authorities.

All such interventions are designed to prioritise player safety and regulatory compliance over short-term gaming activity.
