Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At jansonthebeach.ca, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting the well-being of our players.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Only play with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age or the legal age in your province to participate in online gaming. We take age verification seriously and verify the identity and age of all players before they can access our platform.
If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to register or play.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Be aware of these warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
- Lying about the extent of gambling activities
- Failed attempts to cut back or control gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it's important to seek help.
