Responsible Gaming

At Maple Fast Pay, we believe that gambling should always be about entertainment, fun, and excitement. However, we also acknowledge that for some people, gambling can become a problem. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming and providing our Canadian readers with the information they need to stay safe.

Recognizing the Signs

Problem gambling can affect anyone. It is important to recognize the warning signs early. Ask yourself the following questions:

Do you spend more money on gambling than you can afford to lose?
Do you chase your losses trying to win back money?
Do you lie to family or friends about how much you gamble?
Do you feel anxious or depressed when you are not gambling?
Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to gamble?

If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, it may be time to seek help or take a break.

Tools for Safe Play

All the casinos we review on our site are required to offer "Player Protection Tools". We strongly recommend you use them before you start playing:

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month. Once you hit the limit, you cannot add more funds until the period resets.

Loss Limits

Limit the amount of real money you can lose. Winnings are not included in this calculation, only your initial budget.

Self-Exclusion

If you need a serious break, you can block yourself from the casino for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently.

Reality Checks

Set a timer that pops up every 30 or 60 minutes to remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.

Underage Gambling

It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 (or 19, depending on your province/territory) to gamble online. Casinos have strict verification (KYC) processes to prevent minors from playing.

If you share your computer with minors, we recommend using filtering software such as Net Nanny or CyberPatrol to block access to gambling sites.
