Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Rose Hill Kennel, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to approach it responsibly and within your means.
We are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices for all our users in Canada.
Age Verification
Online gaming in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province, whichever is applicable). We take age verification seriously and require all users to confirm they meet these requirements before accessing our platform.
By using Rose Hill Kennel, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and legally eligible to gamble in your province.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be honest with yourself and watch for these warning signs:
- Spending more time or money on gaming than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities
- Hiding your gaming activity or lying about the amount you gamble
- Borrowing money to fund gaming activities
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Using gaming as an escape from problems or difficult emotions
- Experiencing relationship conflicts due to your gaming
- Inability to stick to gaming limits you've set for yourself
- Experiencing financial difficulties or debt related to gaming
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself, it may be time to seek support.
