Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At eivey.ca, we believe online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Playing casino games should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It's important to understand that casino games are games of chance, and the odds always favor the house. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set strict limits on your spending.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). eivey.ca is committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under 18, you are not permitted to access or use our affiliate services or linked casino platforms.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please review the following warning signs. If you recognize any of these behaviors in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately:
- Chasing Losses: Continuing to gamble to recover money you've lost

Self-Help Tools
Responsible gambling tools can help you maintain control over your gaming activities. Most licensed online casinos offer the following features:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a cap on how much you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders that notify you of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic disconnection from gaming platforms after a predetermined duration
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling platforms for a set period (ranging from days to years)
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
Take advantage of these tools to maintain responsible gambling habits and protect your financial well-being.
