Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Ellery Vas Closet, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. We believe that gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to play at our affiliated casinos, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online gambling is strictly limited to individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Canada, or the legal gambling age in your province. By accessing any affiliated casino, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. We do not permit minors to gamble under any circumstances.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem. Please seek help:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
- Increasing the amount wagered to achieve the same excitement
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
- Borrowing money to gamble or cover gambling debts
- Experiencing financial, legal, or relationship problems due to gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a limit on the amount you are willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you have been gambling and how much you have spent
- Time-Out/Cool-Off Periods: Take a voluntary break from gambling for a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from gambling accounts
We encourage you to use these tools when playing. Speak with customer support at any affiliated casino to activate these features.
