Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Jovi Realty Squamish, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only—not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means. If you feel that your gambling is becoming a problem, help is available.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming in Canada is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your province). All players must verify their age before creating an account or placing bets. We are committed to preventing underage gambling.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be developing:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time spent gaming
- Inability to stop or cut back on gambling despite wanting to
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Experiencing anxiety, depression, or irritability when not gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or stress
- Increasing the amount wagered to achieve the same level of excitement
