Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At sophieschmidt.ca, we believe that gambling at Oxibet Casino should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling always carries risk, and the house always has an advantage. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the minimum legal age in your province) to participate in gambling activities. By accessing Oxibet Casino through our affiliate site, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. It is your responsibility to comply with all local laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be developing:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover lost money
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Increasing amounts of time or money spent on gambling
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities
• Borrowing money or using savings to fund gambling
• Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
• Relationships suffering due to gambling habits

If any of these apply to you, help is available.
