Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At CFBI Radio, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While online casinos can provide fun and excitement, it's important to understand the risks and gamble responsibly.
We are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices for all our visitors and players.
Age Verification
Online gambling is strictly for individuals aged 18 years or older (or the legal gambling age in your province, whichever is higher). In Canada, this means you must be at least 18 years old in most provinces.
It is illegal for minors to gamble. If you are under the legal age, please do not participate in any gambling activities. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor their children's online activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses (gambling more to recover money you've lost)
- Hiding your gambling activities from friends or family
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Lying to others about the extent of your gambling
Self-Help Tools and Features
Responsible online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a session
- Betting Limits: Control the maximum bet amount per spin or hand
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up notifications reminding you how long you've been playing
- Time-Out/Cool-Off Period: Temporarily suspend your account for a set period (hours or days)
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from the casino
Use these tools proactively to maintain control and ensure gambling remains a form of entertainment.
