Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At tndms.ca, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble, please do so responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age in your province) to participate in online gambling activities. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age, you are not permitted to use our platform.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:

• Gambling more frequently or with larger amounts than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or the amount wagered from family and friends
• Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or mood swings when unable to gamble
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Lying about the extent of your gambling activities
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Experiencing sleep problems or changes in eating habits

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Limits

Most responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you are willing to lose over a set timeframe
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how much time and money you have spent while gambling
• Cooling-Off Periods: Take a temporary break from gambling for hours, days, or weeks
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily ban yourself from accessing gambling sites for an extended period (typically 6 months to 5 years)

Contact our support team to activate any of these tools on your account.
