Responsible Gambling
Casino gaming should remain recreational, affordable and controlled. This page shares practical responsible gambling guidance for adult visitors.
19+ Only
Casino gaming in British Columbia is only for adults aged 19 and over. Anyone under the legal age must not participate in casino gambling or use casino-related promotions.
Keep Gambling Recreational
Treat gambling as entertainment, not as a way to make money or recover losses. Set a fixed budget before playing and stop when that budget is reached.
Set time limits, take regular breaks and avoid gambling when stressed, upset, impaired or under pressure.
Know the Risks
All casino games involve risk. Outcomes are based on chance and wins are never guaranteed.
Never chase losses, borrow money to gamble, hide gambling from others or gamble with funds needed for rent, bills, food, transport or other essentials.
Warning Signs
Consider seeking support if gambling stops feeling fun, causes financial stress, affects relationships, interferes with work or school, or feels difficult to control.
Other warning signs include increasing bet sizes to feel excitement, gambling longer than planned, lying about gambling or feeling restless when trying to stop.
Use Support Tools
Responsible gambling tools may include setting personal limits, taking time away from gambling, self-exclusion options and speaking with trained support staff.
GameSense resources can help players understand odds, randomness, myths about gambling and ways to make informed choices.
Get Help
If gambling is causing harm, pause play and seek support as early as possible. Contact local responsible gambling resources, speak with trained support staff or reach out to a trusted person.
In an emergency or if someone is at immediate risk, contact local emergency services right away.
