Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At fabsphoto.ca, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please play responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province) to access and use gaming services on this website. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all users. If you are under the legal age, please do not participate.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses: Gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding gambling activity: Keeping your gambling secret from friends or family
• Spending more than planned: Gambling longer or with more money than intended
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
• Financial problems: Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
• Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Tolerance: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to get the same excitement
• Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to stop or reduce gambling

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you're willing to lose
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing
• Time Limits: Set session duration limits to prevent extended play
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gaming for a set period

Please speak with your gaming provider about implementing these tools on your account.
