Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At natasharesidencestoronto.com, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Casino games are designed for fun, and the odds always favor the house. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your Canadian province) to gamble. If you are under the legal age in your jurisdiction, you are not permitted to participate in any gaming activities. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money you've lost
• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or loved ones
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
• Neglecting work, school, family, or other important responsibilities
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most licensed casinos offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
• Reality Checks: Receive notifications reminding you how long you've been gambling
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a set period or permanently
• Account Pause: Temporarily suspend your account
• Session Time Limits: Set maximum playing time per session

Talk to the casino's customer support team about implementing these tools on your account.
