Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Funtopia Playground, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Gambling should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never use gambling as an alternative to employment or financial planning.
Age Verification
Canadian gambling laws require all players to be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province). By using Funtopia Playground, you confirm that you meet this requirement. We conduct regular age verification checks and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time.
Parents and guardians: If you're concerned about a young person's online activity, please consider using parental control software and speak with them about responsible internet use.
