Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

We're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be viewed as entertainment, similar to going to a movie or concert. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble, set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it.

Age Verification

Gambling is strictly regulated in Canada. You must be at least 18 years of age or older to participate in online gambling, or the legal gambling age in your province if it is higher. We do not permit minors to access gambling services under any circumstances.

Parents and guardians: Please monitor internet usage and use parental controls to prevent unauthorized access to gambling websites.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

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

• Gambling more frequently or with larger amounts than intended
• Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling experiences
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Lying to family, friends, or professionals about the extent of gambling
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
• Neglecting responsibilities, work, school, or family relationships due to gambling
• Experiencing relationship conflicts related to gambling habits
• Borrowing money or incurring debt to fund gambling
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
• Failed attempts to cut back or control gambling behavior
• Jeopardizing important opportunities or relationships because of gambling

Self-Help Tools & Limits

Most responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly)
• Loss Limits: Define a maximum amount of losses you're comfortable with before taking a break
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders while gaming about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended gambling periods
• Self-Exclusion Programs: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling services
• Account Pause/Breaks: Take enforced breaks from gambling to reassess your habits

Use these tools proactively. They are designed to help you maintain a healthy relationship with gaming.
