Responsible Play / Responsible Gambling
DoubleDoubleJoy is intended for adults only and for entertainment. Please play responsibly.
Age & location
You must be at least 18 years old and of legal age in your province/territory (often 18 or 19). If you are underage, do not use this site.
Practical ways to stay in control
- Set a budget and time limit in advance; stop when you reach either limit.
- Never chase losses. Losses are part of gambling-style entertainment.
- Take regular breaks and avoid playing when stressed, tired, or under the influence.
- Keep play separate from essentials (rent, food, bills) and avoid borrowing to play.
- Consider device/app timers and financial controls (spend limits, card blocks).
Optional limits & self-exclusion
If you use gambling products, consider tools such as deposit/loss limits, time-outs, reality checks, or self-exclusion offered by regulated operators in your province/territory. Third-party blocking tools (e.g., gambling-site blockers) may also help.
Warning signs
- Spending more time or money than planned, or hiding play from others
- Chasing losses, borrowing money, or selling items to fund play
- Neglecting work, school, relationships, sleep, or health
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not playing
