Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Eastlake RG, we believe that online gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself gambling to make money or recover losses, it's time to seek help.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set limits, know when to stop, and remember that the house always has an edge.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age in your province) to participate in online gambling. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all users before permitting access to our recommended casinos.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not proceed. Gambling is not for you.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know?
- Chasing Losses: Gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding Gambling: Keeping your gambling activity secret from family or friends
- Loss of Control: Gambling more than you intended or planned
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
- Financial Problems: Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Emotional Changes: Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to cut down or stop gambling
- Escalating Bets: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to get the same excitement
- Preoccupation: Constantly thinking about gambling or planning your next session
If you've checked any of these boxes, consider reaching out to a support organization today.
Self-Help Tools
Most responsible online casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount of losses you're willing to accept
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications during your gaming session reminding you how long you've been playing
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling sites
- Cool-Off Periods: Take a break from gambling for a set period
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if needed
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. They're designed to protect your well-being.
