Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Some Like It Hot, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means. If you find yourself struggling with gambling habits, help is available.

Age Verification

In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province/territory) to use our services. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all applicable provincial regulations. By accessing this site, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills)
• Hiding gambling activities or the amount of time spent gambling
• Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
• Lying to family or friends about gambling habits
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities

• Increasing the amount wagered to achieve the same excitement

• Experiencing mood swings related to gambling outcomes

Self-Help Tools

Many Canadian gambling operators offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe
• Loss Limits: Set a limit on how much you're willing to lose in a session or week
• Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period (hours, days, or weeks)
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling sites for an extended period

Contact your preferred gambling operator to access these tools, or reach out to support organizations listed below.
