Responsible Gaming
Gambling should always be seen as a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The games offered on this site are based on chance, and losses are a normal part of the experience. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and never chase losses in an attempt to win back what you have spent. If gambling stops being fun and starts causing stress, anxiety, or financial strain, it is time to take a break and seek help.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years or older to access this website, or of legal gambling age in your province or territory of Canada (which is 19 in most provinces, including Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec; 18 in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec for certain activities). We strongly encourage parents and guardians to use filtering software to prevent underage access. It is illegal for anyone under the legal age to gamble, and we take underage gambling very seriously.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you care about, please consider seeking help:
- Chasing losses – returning to try to win back money you have lost
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
- Lying about how much time or money you spend gambling
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop
- Gambling to escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
- Borrowing money, selling possessions, or using bills/savings to gamble
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities because of gambling
- Gambling until your last dollar is gone
- Repeated unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back, or stop gambling
