Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Assisted Transportation Network, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only — not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes a concern.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (19+ in some provinces). It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement in your province before participating in any gaming activities. We do not permit access to our affiliated casinos by anyone under the legal age of majority.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek support:
- Chasing losses by gambling more money to recover what was lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Being unable to stick to set limits on time or money spent
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, utilities)
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to get the same level of excitement
- Borrowed money to fund gambling activities
- Unable to reduce or stop gambling despite wanting to
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable Canadian online casinos offer built-in responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on how much you are willing to lose within a specified timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Time-Out: Take a temporary break from gambling for a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing casino platforms for an extended period
We strongly encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
