Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Your Well-being
At Shop In My Closet To, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.
Age Verification
All players must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your province) to participate in online casino gaming. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, please do not attempt to register or play.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you experience any of the following warning signs, please seek help immediately:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Spending more time gambling than intended
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or school due to gambling
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time and money spent
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Gambling despite negative consequences (financial, personal, or professional)
Self-Help Tools
We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account if you feel you need a break from gambling
- Account Closure: Close your account permanently if you wish to stop playing entirely
To access these tools, contact our customer support team or visit your account settings.
