Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Chimney Hill Pizza, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Online gambling carries risks and should only be pursued by adults who can afford to lose their wagers. We are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices for all our visitors.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your province, whichever is higher). It is your responsibility to verify that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction before engaging in any gambling activities. We do not permit access to gambling services for anyone under the legal age.

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, please seek help immediately:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food, medication)
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the time and money spent gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Neglecting family, work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
• Experiencing physical symptoms (sleep loss, headaches, stomach issues) related to gambling stress

Self-Help Tools

Many online casinos and gambling platforms offer built-in tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a cap on how much you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
• Reality Checks: Receive automatic reminders during gaming sessions about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Time-Out/Break: Temporarily suspend your account for a set period to take a break from gambling
• Self-Exclusion: Permanently close your account and exclude yourself from gambling platforms

We strongly recommend using these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
