Responsible Gaming

1. Tips for Safer Gambling

To ensure that your participation remains an enjoyable activity and does not become a problem, we recommend the following guidelines:

• Treat it as entertainment, not an investment: Lottery games are games of chance. They should not be seen as a way to make money or pay off debts.
• Set a budget: Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start playing. Once that budget is gone, stop playing.
• Set a time limit: Decide how much time you want to spend on the site and stick to it.
• Don’t chase losses: Trying to win back lost money usually leads to bigger losses. Accept the loss and walk away.
• Balance gambling with other activities: Ensure that gambling is not your only form of entertainment or social interaction.
• Don't play when upset or depressed: Decision-making can be impaired when you are not feeling your best.

2. Recognizing the Signs of Problem Gambling

It is important to recognize the warning signs that gambling may be becoming a problem. Ask yourself the following questions:

• Do you spend more time or money on gambling than you intended?
• Do you feel guilty or anxious about your gambling?
• Have you ever borrowed money or sold assets to gamble?
• Do you hide the extent of your gambling from friends or family?
• Do you find it hard to stop playing once you have started?
• Has gambling caused you to neglect work, school, or family responsibilities?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you may be at risk. We encourage you to seek professional help.

3. Protection of Minors

BestCanadianOffer is strictly for individuals aged 18 and over (or the legal age of majority in your specific Canadian province/territory). We use age verification checks on every account to prevent minors from accessing our services.

Tips for parents:

• Keep your login details and password private.
• Do not leave your computer or device unattended while logged in.
• Use parental control software to block access to gambling sites for minors.

4. Player Protection Tools

We provide several tools to help you manage your activity:

4.1 Deposit Limits

You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your account. Once you reach your limit, you will not be able to deposit more funds until the period resets.

4.2 Time-Outs

If you need a short break, you can take a time-out for a period ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During this time, you will not be able to access your account.

4.3 Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break from gambling, we offer a self-exclusion facility. This allows you to close your account for a minimum period of 6 months. During this time, we will take all reasonable steps to prevent you from re-opening your account or opening a new one.
