Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, never a way to earn money or solve financial difficulties. All forms of gambling carry risk, and it is important to play responsibly, within your means, and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gambling, or the minimum legal age required by your province or territory in Canada. Underage gambling is illegal and strictly prohibited. We encourage parents and guardians to use filtering software to prevent access by minors.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, please consider seeking help:

• Chasing losses – trying to win back money you have lost
• Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
• Lying about time or money spent gambling
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop gambling
• Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
• Repeated failed attempts to stop or control gambling

Self-Help Tools

Many online gambling platforms offer practical tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits – set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month.
• Loss Limits – cap the amount you can lose over a specified period.
• Reality Checks – receive periodic reminders of how long you have been playing.
• Time Limits – set a maximum session duration.
• Self-Exclusion – block yourself from gambling for a set period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, or longer).
• Account Closure – permanently close your gambling account.

Use these tools proactively to keep gambling enjoyable and within your personal limits.
