Responsible Gaming
Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. At CFTHRadio, we are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices for all our players in Canada.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province) to participate in online gambling. We strictly enforce age verification to protect minors from the harms of gambling.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Spending more time or money gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or loved ones
- Experiencing irritability or anxiety when not gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Neglecting work, school, hobbies, or relationships due to gambling
- Continuing to gamble despite negative financial or personal consequences
- Feeling a need to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control. These may include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling sites
- Session Time Limits: Automatically end your gaming session after a set duration
- Account Closure: Close your account if you feel gambling is becoming problematic
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain a healthy relationship with online gambling.
