Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Boxys.ca, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always play within your means.
Age Verification
All players must be at least 18 years of age or older to participate in gaming activities on Boxys.ca. In some Canadian provinces, the legal age may be higher (19 years in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec). We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify all players' ages during registration.
If you are under the legal gaming age in your province, please do not attempt to register or play.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognize these warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling activity from family or friends
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, school, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or upset when unable to gamble
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Lying about the extent of your gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it's important to seek help immediately.
