Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Lakewood Care, we believe that online gaming should only ever be enjoyed as a form of entertainment. It should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
If you find yourself gambling more than intended or experiencing negative consequences, help and support are always available.
Age Verification
All players must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access and use our services. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and take this responsibility seriously. If you are under the legal age, please do not participate in any gaming activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding your gambling activity or lying about the amount you spend
- Experiencing feelings of anxiety or irritability when not gambling
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, depression, or other problems
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Experiencing relationship problems or conflicts related to gambling
- Feeling unable to control your gambling or stop when you want to
If you recognize any of these signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately.
