Responsible Play

Last updated: September 2025

At Maple Draws Canada, we are dedicated to encouraging responsible play and ensuring all users have a safe and positive experience. Our website is intended solely for entertainment and informational purposes and does not include any real-money gambling activities.

1. Our Approach

Responsible play means keeping gaming within healthy boundaries so it remains a source of enjoyment. We believe that play should never negatively affect one's finances, emotional well-being, or relationships.

2. Age Restriction

Access to Maple Draws Canada is limited to individuals aged 19 years or older. Use of the site by minors is not permitted. We apply digital age verification methods to restrict underage access and recommend that parents use available online safety tools when appropriate.

3. Responsible Play Recommendations

  • Play for leisure and enjoyment, not as a means to earn money.
  • Set your own limits for time and engagement before starting.
  • Avoid trying to "recover losses" or continue playing after unfavorable outcomes.
  • Balance gaming with other activities - take regular breaks.
  • Refrain from playing under stress, or the influence of alcohol or drugs.

4. Recognizing Risky Behavior

It's important to identify when play stops being recreational. You may be at risk if you:

  • Spend more time or money than you initially planned.
  • Ignore work, studies, or relationships due to gaming.
  • Feel uneasy or irritated when you cannot play.
  • Hide your gaming activities from others.

If you recognize these signs, consider using self-assessment tools or contacting professional support services listed below.

5. Self-Exclusion and Assistance

Individuals seeking a temporary break can access self-exclusion programs and responsible play resources available throughout Canada:

Most provinces also operate free and confidential 24-hour helplines for support.

6. Player Protection Measures

To safeguard users and uphold integrity, we apply the following measures:

  • Verification of age and prevention of access by minors.
  • Option to suspend or deactivate accounts upon request.
  • Data encryption and privacy protocols to secure personal information.
  • Encouragement to use third-party tools for managing time and activity.

7. Maintaining Balance

We advise users to treat gaming as one of many recreational activities. If you notice that gaming starts to influence your mood, finances, or personal life, consider reducing playtime or seeking professional guidance.
