Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Jackpot City, we believe online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we offer exciting games and the possibility of winning, it's important to approach gaming responsibly and within your means.
Always remember: the house has an edge, and you should only spend what you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online gaming in Canada is restricted to players who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). Jackpot City takes age verification seriously and reserves the right to request proof of age at any time.
If you are under the legal age, please do not register or participate in gaming activities on our site.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses: Continuing to play to recover money you've lost
- Hiding gambling: Keeping your gaming activity secret from friends or family
- Loss of control: Unable to stick to gaming time or budget limits
- Increased spending: Needing to bet more money to get the same excitement
- Neglected responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gaming
- Borrowing to gamble: Using credit cards, loans, or borrowed money to fund gaming
- Mood swings: Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to play
- Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gaming
- Using gaming to escape: Turning to gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone else, it may be time to seek help.
