Reel Bungalow

The dockResponsible play

Playing well

Reel Bungalow is meant to be like an afternoon on the dock: pleasant, and over when the sun goes down. This page has the tools to keep it that way, the signs worth watching for, and people to call if games have started to take up more of your life than you'd like.

Why limits matter, even when it's free

Nothing at Reel Bungalow costs money, and nothing here can be cashed in. But time is worth something, and casino-style games are built around small, quick moments that are easy to repeat. A spin takes three seconds. A keno draw takes five. Before long the coffee's cold and the evening has gone.

Free play can also shape how people feel about gambling. Doing well with Cabin Coins says nothing about how you'd do with real money, and we'd never want our games to nudge anyone toward a gaming site. If you notice that happening, it's a good moment to step back.

Your tools

Set your own limits

These settings are saved on this device and apply to every game at Reel Bungalow. They take effect straight away.

  • Reality check shows a small note at the bottom of the screen after every 15, 30 or 60 minutes of play, with a link back here. It's on every 30 minutes unless you change it.
  • Take a break pauses all four games for one hour, 24 hours or seven days. Once a break has started, these tools won't end it early.
  • Reset my balance puts your coin jar back to 5,000, which can help if you'd like to stop chasing a number.
  • Forget my settings removes your balance, age confirmation and reminder choice from this device. A break you've already started stays in place until it ends.

Signs it might be time to step away

None of these on their own means something is wrong. If several sound familiar, though, it's worth taking a break and talking to someone you trust.

  • You play for much longer than you meant to, more often than not.
  • You feel restless or irritable when you can't play.
  • Games are the first thing you reach for when you're stressed, bored or low.
  • You keep playing to make up for a bad run, even with free coins.
  • Play is cutting into sleep, work, school or time with people you care about.
  • You hide how much you play from family or friends.
  • Free games have made you curious about betting for money.
  • You've tried to cut back and found it harder than expected.

Keeping the games away from under-19s

Reel Bungalow is for adults only. If young people use your phone, tablet or computer, a few small habits help:

  • Turn on the parental controls built into your device or browser, and set up separate profiles for children.
  • Lock devices with a PIN or password that children don't know.
  • Don't leave a game open on a shared screen.
  • Use the Forget my settings button above when you're done, so the age confirmation isn't left behind.

If a child has been playing casino-style games and you're unsure how to talk about it, the Responsible Gambling Council has helpful material for parents.

About real-money gaming in Ontario

Real-money gaming in Ontario is regulated by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), and Reel Bungalow is not a real-money gaming site. It takes no stakes of any value and pays out nothing of value, so it is not licensed or regulated by the AGCO.

Other provinces have their own rules for real-money gaming, and none of them apply to Cabin Coins, which never have any cash value.
