Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Dragonfly ID, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. The odds in all casino games are designed to favor the house over time. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (19+ in some provinces including Ontario, Quebec, and Manitoba). By accessing any online casino through Dragonfly ID, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your province of residence.
We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity and age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following behaviors in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be developing:
- Chasing losses by gambling with larger amounts of money to recover previous losses
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, utilities, food, medication)
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when not gambling or when trying to reduce gambling
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling activities
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, anxiety, depression, or other emotional distress
- Experiencing sleep problems or health issues related to gambling stress
- Feeling a constant urge to gamble or an inability to resist the impulse
If you experience any of these warning signs, seeking help is important and encouraged.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable online casinos provide tools to help you maintain control over your gambling. These may include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a session or time period
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic limits on how long you can play in a single session
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling for a period of time
- Account Cooling Off: Take a break from your account for a set period
We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of responsible gaming practice.
