Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At restopubmarcopolo.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online casino gaming should be viewed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose and always play within your means.
Age Verification & Legal Requirements
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province, whichever is higher) to access and use casino services in Canada. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. By using our affiliated casinos, you confirm that you meet these legal requirements.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time and money spent gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling habits
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most licensed Canadian casinos offer responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timers to limit your playing time
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing casino accounts and services
- Account Cooling Off: Request a temporary pause in your gaming account before permanent closure
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. Contact your casino's customer support team to activate any of these features.
