Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
Gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only wager money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older, or the applicable legal age for gambling in your Canadian province or territory. In Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec the legal age is 18; in most other provinces and territories it is 19. Always verify local laws before playing.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
- Chasing losses to try to win back money
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
- Gambling with money needed for rent, bills, or essentials
- Losing track of time while gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
- Neglecting work, school, or relationships due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, guilty, or irritable when not gambling
