Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Free Transit, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses or use gambling as an escape from personal difficulties.

Age Verification

In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province) to participate in online gaming. We strictly enforce age verification to protect minors. If you are under the legal age in your jurisdiction, please do not access gaming platforms.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or essential expenses
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the time and money spent
• Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Neglecting family, work, school, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Experiencing relationship conflicts related to gambling habits

Self-Help Tools & Features

Many gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control. Consider using:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about time and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming platforms
• Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period

Always review the responsible gaming options available on your chosen platform and use them proactively.
