Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At roystrainz.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble, please do so responsibly and within your means.
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). By accessing our site, you confirm that you meet these legal requirements. We do not permit minors to gamble under any circumstances.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of these warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses — trying to win back money you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or necessities
- Hiding your gambling activity from family or friends
- Spending more time or money on gambling than you planned
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Others expressing concern about your gambling habits
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Most responsible online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing
- Session Time Limits: Automatically end your gaming session after a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a period of time
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if needed
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain a healthy relationship with gaming.
