Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always set strict limits on both your time and spending.
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 casino gaming. We strictly enforce age verification to protect minors. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not access or use any casino services.
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:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, utilities)
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Increasing bets to achieve the same level of excitement
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gambling habits
- Gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or other problems
