Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Loop Education, we believe online casino gaming should be enjoyable entertainment only. Online gambling is not a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as an income source or investment.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province or territory). Loop Education and all affiliated casinos are committed to preventing underage gambling. By accessing casino platforms, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem. Please seek help:
- Spending more time or money gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Lying about the extent of your gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
Self-Help Tools
Responsible casino platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a cap on how much you're willing to lose during a session or period

- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications to remind you how long and how much you've been playing
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from casino platforms
