Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be treated as a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble online, it is important to stay in control, set clear limits, and never wager more than you can afford to lose. RobynOliver.ca encourages all visitors to play responsibly and to seek help immediately if gambling stops being fun.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age to gamble online in Canada, unless the province or territory where you reside sets a higher legal age. It is your responsibility to know and follow the legal gambling age in your region. Underage gambling is illegal and can lead to serious consequences. If you are under the legal age, do not attempt to create an account or place bets on any gambling site.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you care about, consider seeking support:

• Chasing losses – trying to win back money you have lost by gambling more.
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or colleagues.
• Lying about how much time or money you spend gambling.
• Neglecting work, studies, relationships, or personal responsibilities because of gambling.
• Borrowing money, selling possessions, or using funds meant for bills to gamble.
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop gambling.
• Gambling to escape from stress, depression, or other emotional problems.
• Being unable to set or stick to limits on time or money spent gambling.
• Continuing to gamble despite negative consequences.

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable online casinos in Canada offer responsible gambling tools that you can activate in your account settings. Common tools include:

• Deposit limits – cap how much you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly.
• Loss limits – set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a period.
• Reality checks – receive pop-up reminders showing how long you have been playing.
• Session time limits – restrict how long you can be logged in per session.
• Self-exclusion – temporarily or permanently block access to your account.
• Cooling-off periods – take a short break from gambling for a set number of days.

We strongly recommend using these tools proactively, even if you do not currently feel you have a problem. Prevention is always better than cure.
