Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At BKR Energy, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be viewed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

If you're unable to control your gambling or it's affecting your personal, family, or financial life, help is available. Don't hesitate to reach out to support services.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Canada is available only to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province, whichever is higher). We verify all players meet the legal age requirement before allowing access to our gaming services.

Parents and guardians: If you're concerned about a minor accessing gambling services, please speak to them about the risks and contact your local authorities if needed.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know?

• Chasing Losses: Gambling more to try to win back money you've lost

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Establish a cap on how much you're willing to lose before taking a break
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic reminders or automatic logouts after a certain period of gameplay
• Reality Checks: Receive regular pop-up notifications showing your gaming activity and time spent
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing gaming services for a set period (days, weeks, months, or years)
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you decide gaming is not for you

If your chosen operator doesn't offer these tools, or if you need additional help, contact one of the support organizations listed below.
