Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At enterprise-entreprise.ca, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling involves risk, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

Online gaming in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the applicable legal age in your province). We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all players before they can participate.

If you are under the legal age for gaming in your jurisdiction, we urge you not to gamble. Parents and guardians should monitor online activity to protect minors.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Be aware of these warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses: Gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding gambling activity: Keeping your gaming secret from family or friends
• Loss of control: Being unable to stick to time or money limits you've set
• Gambling with essential money: Using rent, bill, or grocery money to gamble
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
• Mood swings: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Borrowing to gamble: Taking loans or credit to fund gambling activities
• Escalating bets: Needing to gamble larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in your own behaviour, please reach out for support immediately.

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable online casinos offer built-in tools to help you stay in control. These include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Session Limits: Set automatic cut-off times for gaming sessions
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing your account for a set period, ranging from days to years
• Account Cooling-Off: Temporarily suspend your account to take a break from gaming

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits.
