Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At saskbiomechanics.ca, we believe that online casino gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age in your province, whichever is higher) to participate in online gambling. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and require all players to verify their age during account registration. If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, please do not use our platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling: Being secretive about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Loss of Control: Inability to stop gambling or stick to a budget
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
- Financial Problems: Using borrowed money, credit cards, or savings to gamble
- Mood Changes: Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
- Escalating Bets: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to get the same excitement
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools & Controls
We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the total amount you're willing to lose during a session or time period
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from your account for a set period or permanently
- Time Limits: Set automatic session time limits to help manage your gaming duration
These tools are available in your account settings. We encourage you to use them proactively to maintain a healthy gaming experience.
