Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At smallbones.ca, we believe that gaming at Oxibet Casino should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we offer exciting gaming experiences, it's important to approach all casino activities with caution and responsibility.
If you find yourself viewing gaming as a source of income or a solution to money troubles, it may be time to take a step back and seek support.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your province) to participate in gaming at Oxibet Casino. We are committed to preventing underage gaming and verify the age of all players before account creation and first deposit.
If you are under the legal gaming age in your jurisdiction, please do not create an account or attempt to play.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop quickly. Be aware of these warning signs in yourself or others:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gaming activity from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling with money needed for bills, rent, food, or other essentials
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gaming
- Spending more time and money on gaming than intended
- Neglecting work, school, family, or other responsibilities
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gaming
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gaming
- Using gaming to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gaming habits
If you recognize any of these signs, reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
