Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At nationalflagpole.ca, we believe online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose.

Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

Online gambling is only legal for individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Canada. Some provinces may have higher age requirements. It is your responsibility to verify that you meet the legal age requirement in your province before engaging in any gambling activities.

If you are under 18, please do not use this website.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following behaviors in yourself, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Spending more time or money gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
• Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Lying about the extent or nature of your gambling
• Risking important relationships, education, or career opportunities

If you experience any of these warning signs, please seek help immediately.
