Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Music for Preemies, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province) to participate in online casino gaming. Some provinces may have different age requirements—please verify your local regulations.
By accessing our partner casinos, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following warning signs, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- ☐ Chasing losses by gambling with more money to try to recover losses
- ☐ Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- ☐ Hiding gambling activities or lying to friends and family about your gambling
- ☐ Neglecting work, school, family, or social obligations due to gambling
- ☐ Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- ☐ Experiencing anxiety, depression, or irritability when not gambling
- ☐ Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- ☐ Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
- ☐ Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- ☐ Relationship conflicts related to gambling habits
If you've checked any of these boxes, consider reaching out for support.
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos offer responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you're willing to lose
- Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic session timeouts to manage your gaming duration
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up notifications during gaming sessions to help you track time and spending
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing casino platforms
Take advantage of these tools when creating your account or contact customer support for assistance.
