Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Design2Brew, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. It's important to only wager what you can afford to lose and to maintain control over your gaming activities.
We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting players in making informed decisions about their participation.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province) to participate in online casino gaming. It is illegal for anyone under the legal age to gamble online.
All players must verify their age and identity when opening an account. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not attempt to create an account.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following signs, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or education due to gambling
- Hiding gambling activities from family members or friends
- Experiencing anxiety, depression, or mood swings related to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling activities
- Feeling a constant urge to gamble or needing to gamble with increasing amounts
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or emotional problems
- Lying about the extent of your gambling involvement
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.

Many online casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
