Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At The Yellow Fox Collective, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and you should only wager what you can afford to lose. Set realistic expectations and play for fun, not profit.

Age Verification & Legal Requirements

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province) to use our platform and participate in online gaming. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and complying with all Canadian federal and provincial regulations.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be developing:

• Spending more time or money gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what was lost
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities
• Experiencing mood swings related to gambling wins or losses
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Lying about the extent of your gambling activity
• Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Many online gaming platforms offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic session duration limits
• Account Closure: Request permanent account termination if needed

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain responsible gaming habits.
