Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Amaravati.ca, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online casino games should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and set limits on your time and spending before you play.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years old (or the legal age in your province) to participate in online gambling. Amaravati.ca is committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under the legal age in your jurisdiction, please do not use our platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognize any of these signs in your gaming behavior? If so, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling: Keeping your gambling activities secret from family or friends
- Loss of Control: Gambling longer or with more money than intended
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
- Financial Strain: Borrowing money or using savings to gamble

- Tolerance: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to get the same excitement
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools & Features
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gaming. Consider using:
- 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 in a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders to check how long and how much you've been playing
- Time-Out/Cool-Off Periods: Temporarily suspend your account for hours, days, or weeks
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily close your account if you feel you cannot control your gambling
We encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
