Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Everything Bagels Augustine, we believe that crypto casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. All games are based on chance, and the house always maintains a mathematical edge. Play responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your province, whichever is higher). Some provinces have higher minimum ages. It is illegal for anyone under the legal gambling age to participate in gambling activities.
We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all users before allowing access to gaming platforms.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, problem gambling may be developing:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
- Hiding or lying about gambling habits and the amount of money spent
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, utilities, medication)
- Spending increasing amounts of time and money on gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Neglecting relationships, work, or hobbies due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
- Unable to stick to limits on time or money spent gambling
- Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Experiencing family conflict related to gambling behavior
If you identify with any of these warning signs, please seek help immediately.
