Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At mxqc.ca, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and you should only wager money you can afford to lose.

We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means. If you find yourself struggling with your gambling habits, help is available.

Age Verification

In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age in your province, if higher) to gamble at mxqc.ca. We strictly enforce age verification to protect minors from the potential harms of gambling.

If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, please do not create an account or attempt to gamble. Underage gambling is illegal and can lead to serious consequences.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, seek help immediately:

• Chasing losses: Gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
• Hiding gambling activity: Keeping your gambling secret from family or friends
• Losing track of time and money: Spending more time and money gambling than intended
• Neglecting responsibilities: Failing to pay bills or neglecting work, school, or family obligations
• Increasing bets: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
• Restlessness or irritability: Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems: Gambling to cope with stress, depression, or other negative emotions
• Failed attempts to stop: Repeatedly trying and failing to cut back or quit gambling
• Financial problems: Borrowing money to gamble or experiencing financial hardship due to gambling
• Relationship conflicts: Arguing with loved ones about your gambling habits

If you experience any of these signs, it's important to seek help as soon as possible.

Responsible Gaming Tools

We provide several tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on how much money you deposit into your account
• Loss Limits: Set a limit on how much you're willing to lose during a gaming session
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Session Limits: Set a time limit for your gaming sessions to prevent extended play
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you need to step away from gambling
• Account Cooling Off: Take a break from your account for a set period without closing it permanently

These tools are available in your account settings. We encourage you to use them proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
