Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Chipsettelecom.ca, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is not a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. It should never be seen as an investment or income source. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province) to participate in online casino gaming. Some provinces have higher minimum age requirements. It is your responsibility to verify that you meet the legal age requirements in your jurisdiction before playing.
We do not permit gambling by minors. If you are under the legal age, please do not access our partner casino sites.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or essentials
- Hiding your gambling habits from family or friends
- Gambling for longer periods than intended
- Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to stop or reduce gambling
- Repeatedly trying to cut down or control gambling without success
- Borrowing money to gamble or to pay gambling debts
- Neglecting work, school, family, or other important responsibilities
- Lying about the extent of your gambling activities
- Using gambling to escape negative emotions or stress
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, seeking help is important and encouraged.
