Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At cec2004.ca, we are dedicated to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if they believe their gaming has become problematic.

Age Verification

In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age in your province) to participate in online gambling. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all users. If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, you are not permitted to use our services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Please review the following checklist. If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time/money spent
• Neglecting family, work, school, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
• Experiencing financial difficulties caused by gambling
• Feeling restless or irritable when unable to gamble
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Jeopardizing relationships, jobs, or educational opportunities
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable online casinos provide tools to help you maintain control of your gambling. Consider using these features:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a specific time period
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
• Session Time Limits: Limit the duration of your gaming sessions
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during play about time and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from online gambling platforms

Speak with your casino's customer support team about implementing these tools on your account.
