Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming is a core principle at cascades-casino, operated exclusively through cascades777.com. Our aim is to enable every player to enjoy gambling as a form of entertainment, making conscious and informed decisions. We are committed to supporting our players by providing transparent information, effective self-management tools, and access to professional assistance whenever needed.

Risk Awareness

OBSERVE: Canadian law and best practices require cascades-casino to inform players about the risks of gambling and early signs of problematic behavior. EXPAND: Industry standards highlight the importance of self-assessment and proactive education to mitigate gambling-related harm. REFLECT: This section outlines the main warning signs and provides a self-test for your safety.

Potential Signs of Gambling Addiction

• Frequent or escalating bets: Placing bets more often or increasing wager amounts to chase losses.
• Preoccupation with gambling: Thinking about the casino or upcoming games when not playing.
• Neglecting personal or professional responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling.
• Borrowing or selling assets to gamble: Seeking funds specifically to continue gambling activity.
• Concealing gambling behavior: Hiding time spent or money lost from family and friends.
• Emotional distress: Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or depression linked to gambling outcomes.

Self-Assessment Test

Ask yourself the following questions. If you answer "yes" to several, consider seeking support:

• Do I gamble more than I can afford to lose?
• Have I tried to win back lost money by betting more?
• Does gambling interfere with my work, studies, or relationships?
• Do I feel anxious or irritable if I can't gamble?
• Have I lied about my gambling habits?

Legal Disclaimer: This self-check does not replace professional assessment. If concerns arise, seek confidential help through our support resources below.
