Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution
At gasel.ca, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. It carries financial risk, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Please play responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province) to participate in online gaming. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age, you are not permitted to use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone else, problem gambling may be present:
- Gambling more than you intended or for longer periods
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time or money spent
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Feeling anxious, depressed, or experiencing other mental health issues related to gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
