Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Safe Gaming

At Breakout Edmonton, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes a concern.

Age Verification

All players must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in their province) to participate in online gaming. We verify age during account registration. Underage gambling is illegal and can cause serious harm. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor their family members' online activities.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following behaviors in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
• Experiencing relationship problems due to gambling
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities
• Borrowing money to gamble
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Attempting unsuccessfully to reduce or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
• Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling

Self-Help Tools and Features

We provide several tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount you can deposit
• Loss Limits: Establish maximum loss limits to protect your bankroll
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Time-Out: Take a break from gaming for a set period without closing your account
• Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from playing at our site

To access these tools, log into your account or contact our support team for assistance.
