Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online casino gaming is designed to be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While many people enjoy gaming responsibly, it's important to understand that the house always has an advantage. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set strict limits before you play.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gaming age in your province) to participate in online casino gaming in Canada. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are underage, please do not attempt to register or play.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time or money spent
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or other essential expenses
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or school due to gambling
- Using gambling as a way to escape problems or negative emotions
- Gambling affecting your relationships, mental health, or finances
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos offer built-in 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: Cap the maximum amount of money you're willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling by temporarily or permanently closing your account
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to limit your playing time
Take advantage of these tools—they're designed to help you stay in control.
