Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Jackpot City, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we strive to provide an enjoyable gaming experience, it's important to understand that the house always has a mathematical advantage. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Canada is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age in your province, whichever is higher). By accessing Jackpot City, you confirm that you meet this requirement. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in your gaming behavior, please seek help immediately:
- Gambling more frequently or with larger amounts than intended
- Chasing losses by increasing bets to recover money
- Hiding or lying about your gambling activities
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Unable to cut back or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Experiencing mood changes when unable to gamble
- Jeopardizing relationships, job, or educational opportunities
Self-Help Tools
We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a cap on losses you're willing to accept during a gaming session
- 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 your account, preventing access for a set period
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic logout times to prevent extended gaming sessions
To activate any of these tools, contact our Customer Support team or adjust settings in your account preferences.
