Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At 2213.ca, we believe that gambling should be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we offer fast payouts and exciting casino games, it's important to remember that the house always has an edge. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses or bet more than you originally planned.

Set a budget before you play, stick to it, and enjoy the experience responsibly.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province/territory, whichever is higher). By using 2213.ca, you confirm that you meet these age requirements and have the legal right to gamble in your jurisdiction.

We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you notice any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Gambling with larger amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about how much time or money you spend gambling
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or school due to gambling
• Experiencing anxiety, depression, or irritability when not gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Gambling affecting your relationships, finances, or mental health

• 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're willing to lose during a gaming session or over a period of time
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during gameplay about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a set period to encourage breaks
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account, preventing you from accessing games and placing bets
