Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Equitable Queens, we believe that online casino gaming through platforms like Skrill should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
If you find yourself struggling with your gambling habits, help is available. Read on to learn more about responsible gaming practices and support resources.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). By accessing our site and any affiliated casinos, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement. We do not knowingly permit access to minors and take age verification seriously.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please review the following warning signs. If you recognize any of these in your own behavior, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing Losses: Continuing to gamble to recover money you've lost
- Loss of Control: Being unable to stop gambling or set limits on time and money spent
- Hiding Gambling: Concealing your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Preoccupation: Constantly thinking about gambling, past sessions, or future gambling plans
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, family obligations, or other commitments due to gambling
- Increased Spending: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Mood Changes: Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
- Financial Problems: Borrowing money, using credit cards, or facing debt due to gambling
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Using Gambling to Escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional issues
If you recognize these signs in yourself, reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Self-Help Tools & Player Protections
Most reputable online casinos and payment providers offer built-in tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period
- Reality Checks: Enable notifications that remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic logout times to prevent extended gaming sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic
- Cooling-Off Periods: Take breaks from gambling to reassess your habits
We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gaming practice.
