Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Strategy
At Refluff.ca, we believe online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. All casino games are games of chance with a built-in house advantage. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.
Age Verification
Online gaming in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (19+ in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec). By using Refluff.ca, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your province or territory. We take age restrictions seriously and reserve the right to verify your identity at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or essential expenses
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time and money spent
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or unable to stop when attempting to cut back
- Neglecting family, work, school, or hobbies due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Experiencing mood swings related to winning or losing
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts for the same level of excitement
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most online casinos, including those featured on Refluff.ca, offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a cap on how much you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Session Timeouts: Automatically log out after a set period of inactivity or playing time
- Self-Exclusion Programs: Temporarily or permanently block your account from accessing online casinos
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. Visit your casino account settings to enable any features that support responsible play.
