Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Generation Unsmart, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. It's important to approach gaming with realistic expectations and to only spend what you can afford to lose.
We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and to be aware of the potential risks associated with online gaming.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Canada is available only to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). By accessing this website, you confirm that you meet this age requirement and understand your local gaming laws.
If you are under the legal age to gamble, please do not use gaming services.

Self-Help Tools
Many online gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling habits:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a cap on losses you're willing to accept
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been gaming and how much you've spent
- Time-Out/Cool-Off Periods: Temporarily suspend your account for a period you choose (typically 24 hours to several weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gaming for a longer period (typically 6 months to permanently)
Take advantage of these tools to help maintain responsible gaming habits and stay in control.
