Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Katch Kamloops, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting our players in making informed decisions.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). By accessing our site, you confirm that you meet this requirement and are legally permitted to gamble in your jurisdiction.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Please review the following checklist. If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Lying to family, friends, or professionals about gambling activity
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or sadness
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Gambling with money needed for essentials like rent or food
Self-Help Tools
Take control of your gaming experience with these built-in protection tools:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a cap on how much you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Enable regular notifications reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from our platform if you need a break
These tools are available in your account settings. We encourage you to use them as part of your responsible gaming plan.
