Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At Courtesy Bicycles Casino, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes problematic.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province) to play on our platform. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not create an account or attempt to play.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other problems
- Gambling affecting relationships, employment, or financial stability
Self-Help Tools
We offer several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account, preventing access for a period you choose
- Account Pause: Take a break from gambling for a set number of days
