Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online casinos and gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is important to remember that gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province) to participate in online gambling. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and reserve the right to verify your age at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use gaming services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in your own behavior, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or essential expenses
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or loved ones
- Spending increasing amounts of time and money on gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to finance gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gaming Features
Most responsible online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
