Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
1. Gambling is Entertainment, Not Income
At Entreprise LAVL, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is not a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Play with money you can afford to lose, treat any winnings as a bonus, and never gamble with funds needed for essentials like rent, food, or utilities.
2. Age Verification
Online gambling in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. By accessing casino services through Entreprise LAVL and partner platforms, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your province or territory. We strictly prohibit access to minors and reserve the right to verify age at any time.
3. Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following behaviors in yourself or someone else, it may indicate a problem with gambling:
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Repeatedly attempting to cut back or stop gambling without success
- Chasing losses by returning to gamble more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying to family and friends about time or money spent
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or negative emotions
- Neglecting work, school, family responsibilities, or hobbies due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Losing control over gambling behavior or time spent gambling
- Gambling despite negative consequences (financial, legal, or relationship problems)
4. Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most licensed Canadian online casinos and gaming platforms offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the total amount you're willing to lose in a set timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Limits: Automatically end your gaming session after a set duration
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms
- Account Cooling-Off: Request a temporary pause on your account before resuming activity
We recommend using these tools proactively, even if you don't currently feel at risk. Responsible gaming is about maintaining healthy boundaries for all players.
