Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At fabsphoto.ca, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to approach it responsibly and within your means.

Please remember: the house always has an edge. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.

Age Verification

In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province) to access and use gaming platforms. Age verification is mandatory for all users.

If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, please do not access this site. We take the protection of minors seriously.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of these warning signs, seek help immediately:

• Chasing Losses: Trying to recover lost money by gambling more
• Hiding Gambling: Concealing the extent of your gambling from family or friends
• Increasing Stakes: Needing to bet more money to get the same excitement
• Loss of Control: Unable to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
• Neglecting Responsibilities: Gambling interferes with work, school, or family obligations
• Financial Problems: Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
• Mood Changes: Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Escape Behavior: Using gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or other problems

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control. Take advantage of these features:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose
• Time-Out/Cooling Off: Take a break from gaming for a set period
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gaming platforms for a longer period

Use these tools proactively to keep your gaming experience safe and enjoyable.
