Responsible Gaming

Updated for 2026. At quaysideresort.com, we promote gambling as a form of entertainment only. It should never be treated as a way to make money, recover debt, or solve financial problems. If gambling stops being fun, it’s time to pause and seek support.

1) Gambling Is Entertainment — Not Income

Casino games (including no verification casinos) are based on chance, and outcomes are never guaranteed. Always play with money you can afford to lose, set a budget before you start, and stop when you reach your limit.

2) Age Verification (Canada)

You must be of the legal gambling age in your province or territory to gamble. In Canada, this is typically 18+ or 19+, depending on local law. We do not encourage or accept underage gambling.

3) Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you notice any of these signs, consider taking immediate action:

• Chasing losses (trying to win back money you lost)
• Spending more time or money than planned
• Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
• Borrowing money or selling belongings to gamble
• Gambling when stressed, anxious, or depressed
• Neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling
• Feeling guilt, shame, or panic after gambling
• Being unable to cut down or stop

4) Self-Help Tools You Can Use

• Deposit limits: Cap how much you can add to your account daily, weekly, or monthly.
• Loss limits: Set a maximum amount you can lose in a session or time period.
• Reality checks: Enable reminders showing time spent and money used.
• Session/time limits: Restrict how long you can play in one sitting.
• Cool-off periods: Take a short break from gambling access.
• Self-exclusion: Block yourself from gambling platforms for a longer period.
