Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming is based on the principle that gambling should always be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to generate income or offset losses. At sportaza-casino-ca.com, we are committed to supporting our players in maintaining a healthy, balanced approach to gaming. Our team is available to provide guidance, resources, and effective tools to help players stay in control of their gambling experience.

Self-Assessment Test

Consider the following statements as a quick self-evaluation. If you answer "yes" to several, you may be at risk and should seek support:

• Do you spend more time or money on gambling than intended?
• Have you tried to stop gambling but could not?
• Do you lie to family or friends about your gambling?
• Have you experienced financial difficulties due to gambling?
