Responsible Gaming

At CanadaWager, we're committed to promoting safe, healthy, and responsible gaming practices for all Canadian players aged 19 and over.

Entertainment Only

CanadaWager is a social gaming platform designed purely for entertainment. No real money is involved in our games, and no real prizes can be won. This ensures a safe environment where you can enjoy casino-style games without financial risk.

Age Requirement

Our services are intended for individuals who are 19 years of age or older in most Canadian provinces (18+ in Alberta and Quebec). We take age verification seriously and do not knowingly provide services to minors. If you are under the legal age in your province, please do not use our platform.

Healthy Gaming Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to ensure your gaming remains fun and positive

Set Time Limits

Take regular breaks and set specific times for gaming. Remember that gaming should be a fun activity, not a daily obligation.

Play for Fun

Our games are designed for entertainment. Focus on enjoying the experience rather than trying to achieve specific outcomes.

Stay Social

Gaming should complement, not replace, your social activities and relationships with family and friends.

Recognize Warning Signs

Be aware of changes in your gaming habits and seek help if gaming starts to negatively impact your daily life.

Recognizing Concerning Patterns

While our platform doesn't involve real money, it's important to maintain healthy gaming habits. Be mindful if you notice any of these patterns:

  • Gaming for longer periods than intended
  • Feeling anxious when unable to play
  • Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities
  • Using gaming to escape from problems or negative feelings
  • Losing track of time while gaming
  • Becoming irritable when gaming is interrupted
  • Lying about time spent gaming
  • Gaming interfering with sleep or meals

Self-Assessment Questions

Ask yourself these questions regularly to maintain awareness of your gaming habits:

Am I gaming for entertainment and relaxation?

Do I maintain a healthy balance between gaming and other activities?

Can I easily stop gaming when I need to do other things?

Is gaming enhancing my life rather than causing problems?
