Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At longhurstandjack.ca, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only—never 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 understand the risks involved.
Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always set limits before you start playing.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province) to access our site and play. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity. If you are under the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction, please do not access our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognizing warning signs early can help prevent gambling from becoming a problem. Please review the checklist below:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Experiencing anxiety, stress, or mood changes related to gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from problems or difficult emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gambling
- Feeling restless or irritable when unable to gamble
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone else, it may be time to seek help.
