Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution
At Dr Rosalin Miles, we believe online casino gaming should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always maintain control over your gaming habits.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming in Canada is restricted to individuals aged 18 years or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). If you are under the legal age, please do not participate in gambling activities. All licensed operators verify player age before account creation and deposits.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following behaviors in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be developing:
- Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling sessions
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Attempting to control, cut back, or stop gambling without success
- Chasing losses—gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the extent of gambling
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or emotional problems
- Experiencing relationship or family conflicts due to gambling
- Jeopardizing or losing important opportunities (job, education, relationships) because of gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Neglecting personal or professional responsibilities
If you experience any of these warning signs, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable online casinos offer player protection tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a daily, weekly, or monthly period
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you can lose during a set timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been gaming and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically end your gaming session after a set duration
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from online casinos for days, weeks, months, or years
- Account Closure: Request permanent closure of your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
Take advantage of these tools proactively. Using them is a sign of responsible gaming, not weakness.
