Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Artsburg, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we strive to provide an enjoyable gaming experience, it's essential to approach all casino games with realistic expectations and responsible habits.
Remember: The house always has a mathematical advantage. Only gamble what you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
All users must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in their Canadian province, whichever is higher, to participate in online gaming. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and enforce strict age verification measures at registration.
If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to register or play.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Review the checklist below. If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover previous losses
- Spending more time and money on gaming than intended
- Hiding or lying about the extent of your gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Neglecting work, family, relationships, or personal responsibilities due to gaming
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood changes (irritability, anxiety) when unable to gamble
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Feeling a need to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
- Jeopardizing relationships, education, or job opportunities due to gambling
