Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At GlobeCard.ca, we are 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. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes a concern.
Age Verification
By accessing GlobeCard.ca, you confirm that you are:
- At least 18 years of age (or the legal age required in your province)
- A resident of Canada where online gambling is legal
- Not prohibited from gambling under provincial or federal law
We take age verification seriously. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor online activity and use parental controls.

If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- ☐ Gambling with more money than you intended
- ☐ Spending increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
- ☐ Repeatedly trying to stop or reduce gambling without success
- ☐ Chasing losses—gambling more to recover money lost
- ☐ Lying to family, friends, or healthcare providers about gambling habits
- ☐ Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or other problems
- ☐ Jeopardizing relationships, employment, or education due to gambling
- ☐ Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- ☐ Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or depression when unable to gamble

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek support immediately.
