Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At Backcountry Junkie, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online 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 seek help if gambling becomes problematic.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your province) to access and use casino services in Canada. We strictly prohibit access to individuals under the legal gambling age. All players must verify their age before creating an account or depositing funds.

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:

• 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 spent
• Neglecting work, school, family, or relationships due to gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or fund gambling debts
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Using gambling as an escape from problems or stress
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
• Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling

Self-Help Tools & Player Protections

Responsible gaming tools are available to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
• Session Time Limits: Limit the duration of your gaming sessions
• Reality Checks: Regular reminders of how long you have been playing and funds spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing casino accounts
• Account Cooling Off Period: Take a break from gambling activities

We recommend using these tools proactively as part of your gaming strategy.
