Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At Boomer to Boomer Online, we believe that online casino gaming should be fun, entertaining, and within your control. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It is purely a form of entertainment with inherent risks of loss.
Age Verification & Legal Requirements
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). We take age verification seriously and require all players to confirm their age before accessing our platform. It is illegal for anyone under the legal age to gamble online.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding or lying about gambling activities and spending
- Neglecting family, work, school, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Experiencing irritability or mood swings when unable to gamble
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Constantly thinking about gambling or planning the next gambling session
- Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable online casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a session or over time
- Betting Limits: Cap the size of individual bets you can place
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during gaming sessions about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Timeouts: Set automatic session end times to prevent extended play
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your account
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling
We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
