Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At EKitable Records, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Games of chance are designed with a built-in house edge, meaning that over time, the odds favor the casino. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always play within your means.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal age in your province) to participate in online gambling. EKitable Records is committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, please do not use our services. We encourage parents and guardians to monitor online activity and discuss responsible gaming with young people.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a problem gambling situation:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover lost money
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, utilities, food, medication)
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
- Losing track of time while gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Neglecting family, work, school, or social relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Attempting to cut back or quit but being unable to do so
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other negative emotions
- Increased tolerance—needing to gamble larger amounts to feel the same excitement
If you identify with any of these signs, please reach out for help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Many online casinos, including Interac-enabled platforms, offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose before you stop playing
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Timers: Set automatic notifications or play interruptions after a set duration
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block yourself from accessing gambling services
- Account Closure: Close your account if you feel you cannot gamble responsibly
We strongly encourage you to use these tools as part of a responsible gaming strategy.
