Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and outcomes are determined by chance. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
All players must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in their province) to use our recommended casinos. If you are under the legal age in your jurisdiction, please do not gamble. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor online activities and use parental controls.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may have a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about time and money spent
- Gambling with money needed for bills, rent, food, or other essentials
- Increasing amounts of money needed to achieve the same excitement
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Failed attempts to cut back or control gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or social relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Experiencing financial, legal, or relationship problems because of gambling
