Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Sapphires Gym Club, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. It is not a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province) to participate in online casino gaming in Canada. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all players during account registration.
If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to create an account. If you suspect underage gambling is occurring, please contact us immediately.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Be aware of the following warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Hiding gambling activities or lying to friends and family about your gambling habits
- Experiencing anxiety, depression, or mood swings related to gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or hobbies due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Unsuccessfully attempting to cut back or stop gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Player Protections
We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you are willing to lose during a session
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic reminders or session timeouts to manage your playtime
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic pop-up notifications showing your playing time and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you feel you need a break from gambling
