Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At The Vancouver Project, we are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices. Live 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 recognize when gaming may be becoming problematic.

Age Verification

Canadian law requires that all players must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your province) to participate in online gaming. By accessing our site, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement. If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, please do not proceed.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time/money spent
• Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities
• Experiencing anxiety, depression, or other mood changes related to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
• Feeling unable to stop or control gambling urges
• Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress

Self-Help Tools and Resources

Most reputable online casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you are willing to lose
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you have been playing
• Session Limits: Set automatic time limits for gaming sessions
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming platforms
• Account Closure: Close your account if you wish to stop playing entirely

We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
