Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Safe Gaming

At Regency Renovations, we promote responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your province) to participate in gambling activities in Canada. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful. If you are under the legal age, please do not gamble.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills)
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or loved ones
• Increasing amounts of time or money spent gambling
• Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
• Lying about the extent of your gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or cover gambling losses
• Loss of control over gambling behavior
• Continued gambling despite negative consequences

Self-Help Tools

Most responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe
• Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you can lose in a session or period
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Time-Out/Cooling-Off Periods: Take a break from gambling for a set duration
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling platforms for a period of time

Speak with your gaming operator about implementing these tools on your account.
