Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At gbiglobal.ca, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
If you're in Canada and concerned about your gambling habits, help is available and support is just a click away.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province) to gamble online in Canada. We take age verification seriously and all players must confirm their age before accessing our casino partners' platforms. Gambling by minors is illegal and harmful.

Do you recognize any of these warning signs in your own behavior? If so, it may be time to seek help:
