Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At movebecauseyoucan.ca, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming is strictly for individuals aged 18 years or older (or the legal gambling age in your province, whichever is higher). By accessing any affiliated casino platform, you confirm that you meet these age requirements and comply with all local gaming laws in Canada.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, problem gambling may be affecting your life:
- Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling experiences
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to feel the same excitement
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Lying to family, friends, or others about your gambling habits
- Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Jeopardizing relationships, education, or career opportunities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
Self-Help Tools
Responsible gaming tools can help you maintain control of your gambling activities:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit in a specific time period
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum loss threshold before stopping play for the day or week
- Session Limits: Restrict the amount of time you spend gambling in one session
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders showing how long you've been playing and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms
- Account Cooling-Off Period: Take a mandatory break from gambling for a set period
Most reputable online casinos provide these tools. Use them proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits.
