Responsible Gaming

Introduction

Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to earn money. When you play at Captain Cooks Casino or any other online casino, treat the money you spend like the cost of a night out. You are paying for the experience, and you should expect to lose that money. Outcomes in casino games are driven by chance, and no strategy, system or "lucky streak" can guarantee a win.

A few basic principles:

• Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, never with money needed for rent, bills, food, debt payments or savings.
• Never borrow money to gamble.
• Set a time and money budget before you start, and stick to it.
• Do not gamble when you are upset, stressed, lonely, tired or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Take regular breaks and keep gambling balanced with other activities, relationships and responsibilities.

Age Verification (18+ / 19+)

You must be of legal gambling age in your province or territory to use any online casino. In Canada the minimum age depends on where you live:

• 18 years or older: Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec.
• 19 years or older: British Columbia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

Licensed operators are required to verify the age and identity of their players, and may ask you for identity documents before you can deposit or withdraw. Rules can change, so please check the current requirements with your provincial regulator.

If you share a device or home with minors:

• Never leave your casino account logged in.
• Keep passwords and payment details private.
• Consider parental control or content-filtering software to block gambling sites on devices used by children.

Underage gambling is illegal. If you are under the legal age, please do not use gambling services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

For most people gambling stays a leisure activity, but for some it can become harmful. Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income or background. Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following apply to you:

• ☐ I spend more money or time than I planned, or can afford.
• ☐ I need to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement.
• ☐ I borrow money, sell belongings or use credit to gamble.
• ☐ I feel restless, irritable or anxious when I try to cut down or stop.
