Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is not a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. All casino games are games of chance with a built-in house edge. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your province) to participate in online gambling in Canada. By using our partner casinos, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. We encourage parents and guardians to discuss responsible gambling with young people in their care.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about time and money spent
• Neglecting work, school, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, utilities)
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Using gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or negative emotions
• Gambling longer or with larger amounts than intended
• Risking important relationships or opportunities due to gambling

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a session or day
• Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended play
• Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders during your gaming session
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily ban yourself from a casino or multiple casinos for a set period
• Account Freezing: Temporarily or permanently close your account

We recommend using these tools proactively. Speak with casino customer support if you need assistance setting limits.
