Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At The Slow Fit, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. We believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming in Canada is restricted to individuals who are at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your province). By accessing our site, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction. 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 own behaviour, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you try to reduce or stop gambling
- Lying to others about how much you gamble
- Unsuccessful attempts to control or cut back on gambling
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable online casinos offer responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific time period
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose
- Time Limits: Restrict the amount of time you spend gambling in a session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling sites
