Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

Online casino gaming should only be viewed as a form of entertainment with money you can afford to lose. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. The odds always favor the house, and no strategy can guarantee wins. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Canada is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal age of majority in your province or territory. Players under the legal gambling age are strictly prohibited from participating. If you are underage, please do not attempt to access gaming platforms.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or loved ones
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
• Neglecting work, school, family, or hobbies due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Lying about the extent of gambling activities
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or difficult emotions
