Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Dr Boily, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it carries risks and should never be viewed as an investment or income source.
We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting players in maintaining control over their gaming activities.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (19+ in some provinces including Ontario, Quebec, and Manitoba). All players must verify they meet the legal age requirement in their province before registering with any online casino operator.
We do not condone underage gambling in any form.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or quit without success
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Gambling to escape problems, anxiety, or negative emotions
- Neglecting work, school, family, or social obligations due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Experiencing relationship conflicts related to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to control, reduce, or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools & Player Controls
Responsible online casinos provide various tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to control gaming duration
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account for a specified period
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain a healthy gaming experience.
