Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At sourcesworkbc.ca, we believe that casino gaming should only be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Games of chance are designed with a mathematical advantage for the house, meaning that over time, players are more likely to lose than win. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.
Age Verification
Casino gaming is strictly for adults only. In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your province) to participate in gambling activities. If you are under the legal age, we urge you not to access oxibet casino or any gambling platform. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be honest with yourself and watch for these warning signs:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or mood swings related to gambling
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Feeling a constant urge to gamble or thinking about gambling frequently
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or negative emotions
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it's important to seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Responsible gambling platforms offer several tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
- Loss Limits: Set a cap on how much you're willing to lose during a gaming session or time period.
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders that notify you of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.
- Time-Out (Cool-Off Period): Temporarily suspend your account for a set period (hours, days, or weeks) to take a break from gambling.
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from accessing the casino platform. This is a powerful tool for those struggling with problem gambling.
We encourage you to use these tools proactively, even if you don't currently feel you have a problem. They help reinforce responsible gambling habits.
