Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Equity Hill, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. While online casinos offer entertainment and excitement, it's crucial to understand that gambling should be viewed as entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province) to access and use our platform. We strictly verify the age of all users. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use this service.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding or lying about your gambling activity and spending
- Experiencing mood changes, anxiety, or irritability when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Feeling unable to control or reduce your gambling
- Neglecting family, work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Friends and family expressing concern about your gambling habits
- Gambling to escape problems or relieve stress, sadness, or anxiety
Self-Help Tools & Safeguards
We provide tools to help you maintain control over your gaming experience:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're comfortable losing in a session or time period
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to encourage breaks
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account when you need a break
