Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

Online casino gaming is designed to be a form of entertainment and should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and losing is a real possibility. Play only with money you can afford to lose, and never gamble with funds needed for essentials like rent, utilities, food, or childcare.

Age Verification

All players must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province). It is illegal for anyone under the legal age to participate in online casino gambling in Canada. We verify player age and do not permit underage gambling under any circumstances.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

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

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount wagered
• Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Risk of losing relationships, job, or educational opportunities due to gambling

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Many online casinos offer tools to help you gamble responsibly:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a session or time period
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during gaming sessions showing time elapsed and money spent
• Session Limits: Set automatic time restrictions for your gaming sessions
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing casino accounts
• Account Cooling-Off Period: Take a mandatory break from gambling for a set period

Use these tools proactively to maintain control over your gambling activity.
