Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Saskatoon Brewery, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means. If you find yourself struggling with gambling habits, please reach out for support immediately.

Age Verification

Online casino gaming is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Canada, or the legal age of majority in their province of residence. By accessing any gaming platform through our site, you confirm that you meet these age requirements and are legally permitted to gamble in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Be aware of these warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover lost money
• Hiding or lying about gambling activities
• Neglecting family, work, or social responsibilities due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
• Feeling restless or irritable when unable to gamble
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gambling
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, utilities)

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it's important to seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools

Many gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
• Loss Limits: Establish a cap on losses you're willing to accept
• Time Limits: Restrict how long you can play in a single session
• Reality Checks: Set reminders to take breaks during gaming sessions
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily ban yourself from accessing gaming platforms for a set period or permanently

Always use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits.
