Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Drummers Who Love Birds, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Online casino games should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The odds always favor the house, and there is no guaranteed way to win.
Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always play within your limits.
Age Verification
All players must be at least 18 years of age or the legal age for gambling in their province/territory in Canada, whichever is higher. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful. If you are under the legal age, please do not participate in online casino gaming.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:

- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills)
- Hiding or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Experiencing mood swings related to gambling wins and losses
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
