Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Yumi Recipe, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is not a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or generate income. Real money casino games are games of chance with a house edge, meaning that over time, the odds favor the casino.
Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or a solution to financial difficulties.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming in Canada is restricted to individuals who are at least 18 years of age or older, or the legal age of majority in their province or territory, whichever is greater.
By accessing our site, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and take this responsibility seriously.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem. Please seek help:

- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop gambling

- Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling sessions
- Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling

Self-Help Tools
Many online casinos and gambling platforms offer responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
- Betting Limits: Restrict the size of individual wagers
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders during gaming sessions to track time and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your account
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic logout after a specified duration
- Account Closure: Request a permanent closure of your gaming account
We encourage you to use these tools proactively if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic.
