Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Bike Revolution, we believe that online casino gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always maintain a healthy balance in your life.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Canada is restricted to individuals who are at least 18 years of age or older, or the legal age of majority in your province, whichever is higher. By accessing any casino on our site, you confirm that you meet these age requirements and comply with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction.
Parents and guardians: If you are concerned about a young person's access to gambling websites, consider using parental control software to restrict access.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, utilities, food, medication)
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or hobbies due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money for the same level of excitement
- Experiencing sleep problems or health issues related to gambling stress
Self-Help Tools and Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable online casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control over your gambling. These may include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you're willing to lose within a set timeframe
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic reminders or session timeouts to prevent extended gambling sessions
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications during play to remind you how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from an online casino for a period you specify (typically 6 months to 5 years or longer)
- Account Cooling-Off Period: Take a mandatory break from gambling to reflect on your habits
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. Setting limits before you start playing is one of the most effective ways to stay in control.
