Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

Online gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose. Gambling involves risk, and the house always has an advantage.

Age Verification

All players must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in their province to participate in online gambling in Canada. By accessing our affiliated casinos, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement and assume all responsibility for your gaming activities.

Parents and Guardians: If you are concerned about a young person's online activity, please monitor their internet usage and speak with them about responsible gaming practices.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
• Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Experiencing anxiety or irritability when unable to gamble
• Repeatedly unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Using gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
• Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
• Lying to loved ones about the extent of your gambling activities

If you recognize these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable online casinos offer the following tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period
• Time Limits: Set session time limits to prevent extended gambling sessions
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications during play to remind you how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing casino accounts and promotional materials
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you choose to stop gambling

We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
