Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Easy Grade Tutor, we believe that online casino gaming should only ever be viewed as entertainment—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Casino games are based on chance, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose and never use gambling as an investment strategy or income source.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your Canadian province) to access and participate in online casino gaming. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are not of legal age, please do not proceed.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling: Concealing the amount of time or money spent gambling from friends and family
- Loss of Control: Being unable to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Gambling instead of working, studying, or caring for family obligations
- Borrowing Money: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling activities
- Mood Changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Escalating Bets: Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Responsible gaming platforms offer several tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a cap on how much you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
- Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic session timeouts to limit playing time
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications about your balance and time spent playing
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from all gambling accounts
- Account Cooling-Off Period: Take a mandatory break from gambling for a set duration
All reputable casinos provide these tools at no cost. Use them proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits.
