Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gambling
At Green Moustache Lonsdale, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
All gambling activities are restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Canada, or the legal gambling age in your province. It is illegal for anyone under the legal age to gamble. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not participate in any gambling activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognize any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover lost money
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time/money spent
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or mood swings related to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Feeling unable to stop or control gambling urges
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Gambling more frequently or with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
If you recognize these signs, professional help is available and recovery is possible.
