Responsible Gaming

Gambling at River Cree Casino is intended for entertainment purposes only and should never be considered a source of income or financial solution. The casino is committed to promoting responsible gaming, ensuring that players can enjoy their experience in a safe and controlled environment.

Self-Control Tools

River Cree Casino provides various self-control tools designed to empower players in managing their gambling activities. These tools include:

• Deposit Limits: Players can set limits on the amount of money they deposit within a specific time frame. This helps control spending and ensures that gambling remains a form of entertainment rather than a financial burden.
• Loss Limits: This feature allows players to establish a maximum amount of money they are willing to lose during a gaming session. Once this limit is reached, players will be unable to continue gambling.
• Wagering Limits: Players can set limits on the amount they can wager over a specified period, helping to manage their overall gambling expenditure.
• Session Time Limits: This tool allows players to set a maximum duration for their gambling sessions. Once this time limit is reached, players will be automatically logged out to encourage breaks.
• Cooling-off Periods: Players have the option to take a temporary break from gambling by initiating a cooling-off period. During this time, access to their accounts will be restricted.
• Self-Exclusion Options: If players feel they need a longer break, River Cree Casino offers self-exclusion options, allowing them to restrict access to their accounts for a specified period or indefinitely.

Self-Assessment

To help players identify early signs of problematic gambling behavior, River Cree Casino encourages self-reflection through the following structured questions:

1. Do you often gamble to escape from your problems or to relieve feelings of anxiety or depression?
2. Have you ever felt the need to gamble with larger amounts of money to achieve the same excitement?
3. Do you find yourself chasing losses, thinking that you can recover lost money by continuing to gamble?
4. Are you often preoccupied with gambling, thinking about it even when you are engaged in other activities?
5. Have you ever lied to friends or family about the amount you gamble or how much time you spend gambling?
6. Do you experience feelings of guilt or regret after gambling?
7. Have you borrowed money or sold personal possessions to fund your gambling?
8. Has gambling negatively affected your relationships, work, or studies?

Players are encouraged to take these questions seriously, as recognizing these signs early can be crucial in maintaining a healthy gambling experience.

Protection of Minors

River Cree Casino is dedicated to preventing underage access to its gambling services. The casino implements several safeguards and procedures, including:

• Age Verification: All players must verify their age before being allowed to create an account. This is done through a secure identification process.
• KYC Checks: Know Your Customer (KYC) checks are conducted to ensure that all players meet the legal age requirements for gambling in Canada.

These measures are aimed at protecting minors and ensuring that gambling is conducted responsibly.

External Help

Players who feel they may need additional support can reach out to professional organizations dedicated to gambling-related issues. Some of the resources available in Canada include:

• GamCare: Provides advice and support for anyone affected by problem gambling.
• BeGambleAware: Offers information to help people make informed decisions about their gambling.
• Local Support Services: Various community organizations provide assistance and resources for individuals experiencing gambling-related difficulties.

These external resources are confidential and provide non-judgmental support, focusing on helping individuals find the right path to recovery.

Early Warning Signs

Recognizing the early warning signs of problematic gambling behavior is vital for maintaining control. Key signs include:

• Increasing frequency of gambling sessions.
• Need to gamble with larger amounts of money to feel excitement.
• Preoccupation with gambling thoughts during non-gambling activities.
