Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Emilie By Yoga, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. It is important to play only with money you can afford to lose and to set strict limits on your time and spending.
Remember: The house always has a mathematical edge. Play responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your Canadian province) to access and use online casino services. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and enforce strict age verification procedures. If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, utilities)
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Experiencing relationship or family conflicts due to gambling
- Neglecting work, school, or personal responsibilities
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
- Gambling longer or with larger amounts than intended
If you notice these signs, seek help immediately.
