Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At cedit.ca, we believe that online gambling should be enjoyable entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. It carries real risks and should only be undertaken with money you can afford to lose. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age in your province, whichever is higher) to gamble online. Some provinces have different minimum ages. It is your responsibility to know and comply with the gambling laws in your jurisdiction. We do not permit access to our services by anyone under the legal gambling age.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate problem gambling:
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills)
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover lost money
- Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
- Spending increasing amounts of time or money on gambling
- Unable to cut back or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Feeling irritable or anxious when trying to reduce gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Lying about the extent of your gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a session or period
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a set period of playing
- Reality Checks: Regular reminders of how long you've been playing and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms
We encourage you to use these tools to stay in control of your gambling habits.
