Responsible Gaming
Gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money. Always play for fun, set clear limits, and never wager more than you can afford to lose. If gambling stops being enjoyable or starts causing stress, it may be time to step back and seek support.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older — or the legal gambling age in your Canadian province or territory — to open an account and play at Captain Cooks Casino. We may ask for identification documents to confirm your age before allowing deposits or withdrawals. Underage gambling is strictly prohibited, and any attempt to misrepresent your age will result in account closure.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Ask yourself whether any of the following apply to you or someone you care about:
- Chasing losses — trying to win back money you have lost by betting more
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or colleagues
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop
- Gambling to escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
- Lying about time or money spent on gambling
- Neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling
- Repeated unsuccessful attempts to reduce or quit
If you recognize several of these signs, professional help is available and effective.
Self-Help Tools
Captain Cooks Casino offers practical tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit limits — set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can add to your account
- Loss limits — define the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set period
- Reality checks — receive on-screen reminders of how long you have been playing
- Self-exclusion — temporarily or permanently block access to your account
You can adjust these settings in your account menu or contact customer support for assistance. Changes to increase limits may take effect after a cooling-off period.
