Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At agcollectionstore.ca, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never 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 (or the legal age in your province if higher). It is illegal for anyone under the legal gambling age to participate in any form of gambling. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and employ strict age verification measures.
If you are not of legal age to gamble, please do not proceed.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more time or money gambling than intended
- Chasing losses (gambling more to recover losses)
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount gambled
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Neglecting work, school, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Feeling anxiety, stress, or depression related to gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from problems or difficult emotions
- Tolerating increasing amounts of risk or betting larger sums
Self-Help Tools & Limits
Responsible gaming starts with taking control. Many online casinos offer tools to help you maintain healthy gambling habits:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a session or timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications during gameplay reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically end your gaming session after a set duration
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a period you choose (typically 6 months to several years)
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling
We encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
