Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At smileage.ca, we believe gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gaming outcomes are based on chance, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.

Age Verification

Gaming at OxiBet Casino is strictly for individuals aged 18 years or older, or the legal gambling age in your province, whichever is greater. By accessing this site, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in your own behavior, please seek help immediately:

• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, utilities)
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Neglecting work, school, family, or hobbies due to gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Risking relationships, employment, or education for gambling

Self-Help Tools

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given timeframe
• Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications during gaming sessions to remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing your account for a period of time (days, weeks, months, or years)

To activate any of these tools, log into your account settings or contact our customer support team.
