Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

Cryptocurrency gambling and online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is not a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province) to participate in gambling activities. By using this website, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.

In Canada, the legal gambling age varies by province. Please verify your local regulations before participating.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Consider these warning signs:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or healthcare providers
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
• Neglecting work, school, family, or other important obligations
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
• Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gambling
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce gambling
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Lying about the extent of your gambling involvement

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.
