Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Vitality Prep, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Casino games are games of chance, and the odds always favor the house. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and never view gambling as a way to earn money or solve financial problems.
Gambling should be fun and exciting—when it stops being enjoyable or starts causing stress, it's time to take action.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). By accessing our platform, you confirm that you meet this age requirement and are legally permitted to gamble in your jurisdiction.
We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity and age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses: Gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
- Hiding gambling: Concealing your gambling activity from friends or family
- Increasing stakes: Needing to bet larger amounts to feel the same excitement
- Loss of control: Unable to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
- Financial strain: Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Mood swings: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Tolerance: Gambling more frequently or for longer periods to achieve the same effect
- Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Lying about gambling: Deceiving others about the extent of your gambling habits
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable online casinos, including those we recommend, offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you can lose in a given timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders during gaming sessions about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended gambling
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account, preventing access to the platform
- Account Cooling-Off Periods: Take a break from gambling for a set number of days
Use these tools proactively. Setting limits before you play is far more effective than trying to control yourself during a gaming session.
