Responsible Gambling

Wearwave is committed to helping adults make informed choices and keep gambling within safe limits. This page is for anyone who visits our casino guides, whether you want practical ways to manage play, are worried about your gambling, or are supporting someone else.

Signs of Problem Gambling
  • Chasing losses or betting more after a loss
  • Spending money needed for bills or borrowing to gamble
  • Lying about play, hiding activity, or feeling unable to stop
Limits and Self-Exclusion

Access the operator's account settings-usually found under "My Account" or "Responsible Gaming"-to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit, loss, wager, or session‑time limits before you start playing, though exact options differ by casino and provincial licensing. To take a short break or initiate self‑exclusion, submit a request through the same settings menu or contact customer support; Ontario players can also use the BetGuard portal for province‑wide exclusion. All Ontario‑regulated sites provide built‑in limit tools, and any reduction or removal of those limits triggers a mandatory cooling‑off period before the new settings take effect.

Helplines and Support
  • If you reside in Ontario, dial 1-866-531-2600 or text CONNEX to 247247 for confidential assistance from ConnexOntario.

How Wearwave Promotes Safer Play

Wearwave, as a Canadian online casino affiliate, provides factual game and operator reviews but does not operate gambling sites nor offer treatment services. The site embeds prominent risk disclosures, direct links to national responsible‑gambling helplines, and repeated reminders to activate the self‑exclusion, deposit‑limit and session‑limit tools supplied by each operator, explicitly discouraging chasing losses or betting beyond one's means. Visitors are urged to verify that any highlighted casino holds a valid licence for their province or territory before playing.

Tips for Safer Play
  • Define a monthly spending limit and stick to it before logging in
  • Set a daily time limit and use a timer or app reminder
  • Treat gambling as entertainment, not a source of income
  • Take a 15‑minute break after each hour of play
  • Avoid gambling when feeling sad, angry, or under alcohol or drugs
  • Never borrow money or chase losses; walk away if ahead or behind
  • If control feels lost, stop immediately and contact a support service such as Gambling Help Canada
Canadian Regulators
  • Ontario: visit the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (https://www.agco.ca) for licensing details and iGaming Ontario's regulated‑market information (https://www.igamingontario.com).
  • Alberta: consult Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (https://aglc.ca) for provincial rules, which currently allow limited online gambling and lottery services.
  • Other provinces and territories: refer to the specific regulator in your jurisdiction-e.g., British Columbia Lottery Corporation, Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries, or Nova Scotia Gaming Corporation-to verify which casino games are legal locally.
