Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online casino gaming is meant to be a form of entertainment and should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Play only with money you can afford to lose, and set strict limits on both time and spending.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province) to participate in online casino gaming in Canada. If you are under the legal age, please do not use our services. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor online activities and discuss responsible gaming with young people.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about how much time or money you spend
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Neglecting work, school, family, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, depression, or other problems
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling activities
- Failed attempts to control or stop gambling
- Experiencing financial hardship as a result of gambling
Self-Help Tools & Features
Most responsible online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a session or time period
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic reminders or session cutoffs to prevent excessive play
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gaming platforms
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if needed
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain a healthy relationship with gaming.
