Gaming is entertainment
Casino gaming should be treated as paid entertainment, not as a way to earn income or solve financial problems. Outcomes are uncertain, losses are possible, and no strategy can guarantee a profit.
Set limits before you play
Decide in advance how much time and money you are prepared to spend and keep those limits separate from money required for housing, food, bills, debt payments, savings or other essential commitments.
Do not chase losses
Increasing stakes or continuing longer in an attempt to recover previous losses can increase harm. A loss does not make a future win more likely. Stop when your planned limit is reached.
Take regular breaks
Stepping away from the gaming floor helps maintain awareness of time, spending and emotional state. Consider ending a session if you feel frustrated, pressured, distracted or unable to follow the limits you set.
Never borrow to gamble
Avoid using borrowed money, credit intended for essential expenses, or money belonging to another person for gambling. Gambling should fit within a discretionary entertainment budget.
Recognize warning signs
Warning signs can include spending more than intended, hiding gambling activity, repeatedly trying to recover losses, neglecting responsibilities, borrowing for gambling, or feeling unable to stop. These signs are reasons to seek support and to reduce or stop gambling.
British Columbia age requirement
The physical destination described by this site is located in Vancouver, British Columbia. Provincial gaming law defines an adult as a person aged 19 or older, and minors must not participate in casino gaming.
Support and self-exclusion
British Columbia provides responsible-gambling information and voluntary self-exclusion resources through provincial gaming programs. Guests who are concerned about their gambling should use the responsible-gambling information available at regulated gaming facilities or seek confidential professional support appropriate to their location.
For family and friends
If you are concerned about someone else, focus on specific behaviours and impacts rather than arguing about individual wins or losses. Encourage the person to use professional support and protect your own financial boundaries.
Emergency situations
If gambling-related distress creates an immediate risk of harm, contact local emergency services or an appropriate crisis service in your location. This website is not a medical or crisis-care service.
