Play for fun. Stop when it isn't.
Boreal Spins is free coin play, but the patterns of slot pulls can still echo gambling habits. These tools and warning signs help you stay in control.
Strictly 21 and over
Boreal Spins is intended exclusively for adults aged 21 or older who reside in Canada outside the province of Quebec. We verify age at signup and may request additional identification at any time. Under-age accounts are closed immediately and any associated personal information is deleted.
Tools we ship
Every account has these tools turned on the moment it's created. You can find them in Account → Healthy Play.
- Session timer
Set a hard daily play limit between 15 minutes and 4 hours. When you hit it, the reels lock until the next calendar day. You can lower the limit instantly; raising it requires a 24-hour cool-down.
- Cool-down
Pause access to your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. A cool-down cannot be lifted early.
- Self-exclusion
Close your account for 90 days, 365 days, or permanently. During a self-exclusion period you cannot create a new account, and promotional emails are stopped immediately.
- Reality checks
Every 30 minutes of continuous play, a non-dismissable banner appears showing your session length and coin delta. You can turn this on, increase its frequency, but you cannot turn it off entirely.
- Email pause
Turn off promotional emails and push notifications without leaving the app. Account and security emails continue.
- Deposit blocker
We never request a deposit, but if a third-party gambling site is referenced in our community channels, we automatically block the link for 7 days after any self-exclusion or cool-down action.
Warning signs to watch for
Even with virtual coins and no money on the table, slot pulls can become a problem. If you recognise any of these patterns in your own play, please pause and consider reaching out to one of the support lines below.
- ◆You play longer than you planned to, repeatedly.
- ◆You think about pulling reels when you should be focused elsewhere.
- ◆You feel restless or irritable when you cannot play.
- ◆You hide how much time you spend on the Service from people who care about you.
- ◆You chase a previous losing session, hoping the next one will balance it.
- ◆Play has started to interfere with work, study, sleep, or relationships.
- ◆You experience real emotional swings tied to virtual coin wins and losses.
If you need help, it's free and confidential
Even though Boreal Spins does not involve real-money play, the patterns of slot pulls can echo gambling habits. If those patterns are causing harm in your life, please reach out. Support across Canada is free, confidential, and available 24/7 in most provinces.
