Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At sospatch.ca, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. We believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble, please do so responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your Canadian province, whichever is higher) to access and use our services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use our platform.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Please review the following warning signs and seek help if you recognize any of these behaviors in yourself or someone you know:

• Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling experiences
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
• Repeatedly trying to cut back or quit gambling without success
• Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Lying to family, friends, or therapists about gambling activity
• Jeopardizing relationships, employment, or educational opportunities due to gambling
• Relying on others to provide money to cover gambling losses
• Experiencing anxiety, depression, or irritability when unable to gamble
• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable online casinos, including those we affiliate with, offer built-in tools to help you maintain control of your gambling. These tools may include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a session or time period
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered
• Session Time Limits: Automatically end your gaming session after a set duration
• Self-Exclusion: Take a voluntary break from gambling by excluding yourself from your account for a set period or permanently

We encourage you to use these tools proactively. Check with OxiBet Casino directly for details on their specific responsible gaming features.
