Responsible Gaming Tools at Yukon Gold

Gold rush stories are full of luck and risk, but running your account shouldn't feel like a gamble on your own finances. Below is exactly what Yukon Gold offers to keep your play inside limits you set, plus where to go in Canada if you want an outside opinion or a helping hand.

Minimum Age: 19+, No Exceptions

Yukon Gold accounts are restricted to players aged 19 and older, matching the minimum gambling age used across most of Canada. We verify identity and age during account setup and before any withdrawal is processed. If you are underage, do not attempt to register, and if you know someone underage using an account, contact our support team so we can act.

Deposit Limits

From your account settings you can set a daily, weekly or monthly deposit cap in CAD. Once set, the limit blocks further deposits until the period resets, regardless of what's in your Interac e-Transfer or card balance. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately. Raising one comes with a short cooling-off period, usually 24 to 72 hours, so a heat-of-the-moment decision doesn't undo your own safeguard.

• Daily, weekly and monthly deposit caps, adjustable in CAD
• Immediate effect when lowering a limit
• Cooling-off delay before any increase takes effect
• Limits apply across Interac e-Transfer, cards and crypto deposits alike

Reality Checks

You can turn on reality check pop-ups that interrupt play every 30, 60 or 90 minutes with a plain summary: session length, net win or loss, and total wagered. It's a deliberate pause button. Many players are surprised how fast an hour moves at the tables or on a slot session, and the reality check exists to put a number on it before you decide to keep going or step away.

Time-Outs and Self-Exclusion

If you need a short break, a time-out locks your account for a fixed window, from 24 hours up to 30 days, with no way to reverse it early. For longer breaks, self-exclusion locks the account for six months, one year, or permanently. During self-exclusion we suspend all marketing emails and promotional contact, and reactivation after a long exclusion involves a manual check-in with support, not just clicking a button. This is meant to add friction on purpose.

ConnexOntario: Your Go-To Canadian Resource

ConnexOntario is a free, confidential helpline for anyone in Canada affected by gambling, available 24 hours a day, every day of the year. You don't need to be in crisis to call: they answer questions about spending patterns, family impact, and where to find local counselling, and they can talk you through setting limits on any gambling site, including Yukon Gold.

There is no single national gambling regulator covering every Canadian province and territory the way some countries have one central authority. Oversight instead sits with provincial and territorial bodies, and rules can differ depending on where you live. ConnexOntario remains the most consistent, accessible starting point for players nationwide who want independent support rather than something run by an operator.

Warning Signs Worth Noticing

• Chasing losses by depositing more than you planned
• Borrowing money or using bill money to keep playing
• Hiding session length or spend from people close to you
• Feeling irritable or anxious when you try to stop
• Losing track of time consistently during sessions

None of these on their own mean there's a serious problem, but two or three together are worth a pause, a reality check, or a call to ConnexOntario just to talk it through.

How to Set These Tools Up

Log in, open Account Settings, then Responsible Gaming. Deposit limits, reality checks, time-outs and self-exclusion are all listed there with plain-language explanations. If you'd rather not navigate menus, our 24/7 English-language support team can walk you through any of these tools directly, no explanation of why needed.
