Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At smallbones.ca, we believe that online casino gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we offer exciting games through Oxibet Casino, it's important to approach gambling with a healthy mindset and play within your means.

Remember: the house always has a mathematical advantage, and losing is a possible outcome. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

Gaming at Oxibet Casino is strictly restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your province, whichever is higher). We take this requirement seriously and reserve the right to verify your age at any time.

If you are under 18, you must not register or attempt to gamble on our site.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do any of these warning signs apply to you or someone you know? If so, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money you've lost
• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Neglecting family, work, school, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
• Using gambling to escape problems or difficult emotions
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or restlessness when unable to gamble
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Gambling with money meant for essentials like rent, food, or utilities
• Losing relationships, job opportunities, or education due to gambling

If you recognize any of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.
