Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling

At krazykritterkookies.ca, we believe gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. While we review and recommend online casinos that accept Mastercard in Canada, we are equally committed to promoting safe, controlled, and responsible play. Casino games are games of chance: the house always has an edge, and losses are part of the experience. Please only gamble with money you can comfortably afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be of legal gambling age in your province or territory to gamble online in Canada. In most provinces and territories, the minimum age is 19; in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec, it is 18. Always verify the legal age in your jurisdiction before playing. Licensed casinos are required to verify your identity and age before you can deposit or withdraw funds. Never share your account with minors, and consider using parental control software on shared devices.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following apply to you or someone you care about:

• Chasing losses — gambling more to try to win back money you have lost
• Hiding your gambling from family or friends, or lying about how much you spend
• Gambling with money meant for rent, bills, groceries, or other essentials
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not gambling
• Spending more time or money on gambling than you intended
• Neglecting work, studies, relationships, or responsibilities because of gambling
• Using gambling as an escape from stress, loneliness, or other problems
• Trying unsuccessfully to cut back or stop gambling

If any of these sound familiar, it may be time to take a break and seek support. Recognizing the signs early is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Self-Help Tools

Licensed online casinos available to Canadian players offer a range of tools to help you stay in control. We strongly encourage you to use them:

• Deposit limits – Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can deposit.
• Loss limits – Restrict the amount you can lose within a set period.
• Session time limits – Control how long you can play in a single session.
• Reality checks – Receive regular on-screen reminders of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
• Cooling-off periods – Take a short break from gambling, from 24 hours to several weeks.
• Self-exclusion – Block yourself from a casino for a longer period or permanently. Provincial programs such as Ontario's iGaming self-exclusion options are also available.

You can usually activate these tools in your casino account settings or by contacting customer support.
