Responsible Gambling | Dawson Creek Casino

A balanced visit starts with a plan

At Dawson Creek Casino, we want entertainment to remain a choice that fits comfortably into your life. Decide how much time and money you are willing to spend before you begin, and treat that amount as the cost of entertainment rather than a way to earn income.

Set a limit that works for you

Choose an amount you can afford without affecting essential expenses, savings or commitments. A time limit can be just as helpful as a spending limit. Take breaks, notice how you feel and give yourself permission to stop whenever you choose.

Understand the nature of games

Games of chance have uncertain outcomes. Previous spins or hands do not make a particular result due, and no system can guarantee a win. Take time to understand the rules and displayed paytable before playing, and choose a wager that suits your plan.

Keep losses in perspective

Avoid increasing your spending in an attempt to recover a loss. Stepping away, enjoying a meal or leaving for the day can help keep a visit to Dawson Creek Casino in perspective. Alcohol or strong emotions can make decisions harder, so pause if you feel distracted or pressured.

Make use of available support

If gambling no longer feels comfortable, speak with a member of the casino team about responsible gambling information and available support. GameSense provides information about gambling, ways to set limits and options for taking a break from gambling in British Columbia.

Taking a longer break

A break can provide space to reconsider your relationship with gambling. British Columbia’s voluntary Game Break programme offers eligible adults a way to take a longer break from participating gambling venues. Ask for the current programme details and conditions before enrolling.

Support for someone you care about

If you are concerned about a friend or family member, approach the conversation with care and without judgement. Encourage them to speak with a trained support professional or explore the responsible gambling resources available in British Columbia.

Adults only

Casino gaming in British Columbia is for adults aged 19 and over. Keep gambling accounts, devices and payment methods away from minors, and be prepared to show valid identification when visiting a casino.
