Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming at red-shores-casino-ca.com is based on the principle that gambling should remain a conscious and enjoyable form of entertainment. Our aim is to inform you about safe gaming practices and to provide support if challenges arise. As your gaming operator, we are committed to assisting you in maintaining control and making informed decisions about your gambling activities.

Risk Awareness

OBSERVE: Canadian law and industry standards require that players be informed of the risks associated with gambling, the signs of potential problem gambling, and be provided with self-assessment tools. EXPAND: Problem gambling may develop subtly, with behavioral changes often overlooked. REFLECT: It is critical to provide a clear list of warning signs and an accessible self-test to empower users to self-identify risk behaviors.

Signs of Potential Gambling Addiction

  • Frequent Betting: Gambling more often or with larger sums than intended.
  • Preoccupation: Constantly thinking about gambling, even outside of play sessions.
  • Chasing Losses: Increasing bets in an attempt to recover previous losses.
  • Neglecting Responsibilities: Ignoring work, family, or social obligations due to gambling.
  • Borrowing or Selling Assets: Acquiring funds to gamble through borrowing or selling personal items.
  • Withdrawing from Social Activities: Isolating oneself or lying about gambling habits.

Self-Assessment Test

Ask yourself the following:

  1. Do I spend more money or time on gambling than I can afford?
  2. Have I tried to cut back on gambling without success?
  3. Do I feel restless or irritable when not gambling?
  4. Have I neglected work, studies, or family due to gambling?
  5. Do I gamble to escape worry or trouble?
  6. Have I lied to anyone about the extent of my gambling?
  7. Do I need to bet more to get the same excitement?

If you answered "yes" to several of these questions, you may be at risk and should consider seeking help or using our responsible gaming tools.
