Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At movingyourworld.ca, we believe online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gaming is never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means. If you find yourself struggling with your gaming habits, please reach out for support.
Age Verification & Legal Requirements
Online casino gaming in Canada is restricted to players who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). We take age verification seriously and do not permit underage gambling. If you are under 18, please do not participate in any gaming activities on our affiliated casino sites.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognize any of these signs in your gaming behavior? If so, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Spending more time and money on gaming than intended
- Hiding your gambling activity from family or friends
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or guilty about your gambling
- Borrowing money to finance your gaming
- Neglecting work, school, family, or personal responsibilities due to gaming
- Using gaming as a way to escape problems or negative emotions
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Lying to loved ones about the amount of time or money spent gaming
- Experiencing relationship or financial difficulties because of gambling
