Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Peg's Kitchen, we believe that online casino gaming should be a form of entertainment only—never 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

Online casino gambling in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). By accessing and using pegskitchen.ca, you confirm that you meet this requirement and are legally permitted to gamble in your jurisdiction.

We do not knowingly allow underage individuals to access our platform. If you are aware of underage gambling, please contact us immediately.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Be aware of these common warning signs that your gambling may be becoming problematic:

• ☐ Spending more time or money gambling than intended
• ☐ Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• ☐ Hiding or minimizing the extent of your gambling from family or friends
• ☐ Neglecting work, school, family, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• ☐ Experiencing financial hardship as a result of gambling
• ☐ Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• ☐ Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• ☐ Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• ☐ Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
• ☐ Lying to others about the amount of time or money spent gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on the amount of money you can deposit
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a session or time period
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Session Time Limits: Automatically end your gaming session after a set period
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your account
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you choose to stop gambling

We encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
