Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At medlej.ca, we believe that online casino gaming should be entertaining and fun—never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting the wellbeing of our players across Canada.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Canada is available only to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age in your province, whichever is higher). 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 in your jurisdiction, you must not use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more money or time gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Relationships suffering due to gambling habits
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
Self-Help Tools
We provide several tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend in a given time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before taking a break
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account if you need time away from gambling
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a set period of play
We encourage all players to use these tools as part of a healthy gaming experience.
