Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Spinning Gear, we believe that gambling should only be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the movies or playing sports. It should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Casino games are designed with a house edge, meaning the odds always favor the casino in the long run.
Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in Canada, or meet the legal gambling age in your province or territory. In some jurisdictions, the legal age may be 19. It is your responsibility to verify that you meet the legal requirements in your location before playing at any casino.
We do not permit anyone under the legal gambling age to use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following warning signs in your own behavior, please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
- Hiding or lying about the time or money you spend gambling
- Gambling with money intended for essential needs (rent, food, utilities, medications)
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when you're unable to gamble
- Neglecting family, work, school, or important relationships due to gambling
- Increasing the amount you gamble to achieve the same level of excitement
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional problems
- Feeling anxious or restless when trying to cut back on gambling
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling. These tools may include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders during your play sessions showing how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Time Limits: Set a maximum amount of time you can play in a single session
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a casino's platform, preventing access to your account
- Account Cooling-Off: Take a mandatory break from gambling for a specified period
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
