Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Strategy

At TriCopps, we believe cryptocurrency gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble only what you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.

Responsible gaming means making informed choices about your participation and recognizing when gambling stops being fun.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province) to access and use TriCopps. In Canada, this is 18+ in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec; 19+ in most other provinces.

We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. Using TriCopps implies you confirm you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Ask yourself these questions:

• Chasing Losses: Do you gamble with money meant to pay bills or debts?
• Loss of Control: Do you gamble longer or with more money than intended?
• Hiding Activity: Do you hide your gambling or lie about how much time/money you spend?
• Mood Changes: Do you gamble to escape stress, anxiety, or sadness?
• Neglecting Responsibilities: Are you missing work, school, or family time due to gambling?
• Borrowing Money: Do you borrow money to gamble or pay gambling debts?
• Failed Attempts to Stop: Have you tried to cut back or quit but couldn't?
• Tolerance: Do you need to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement?
• Withdrawal Symptoms: Do you feel irritable or anxious when not gambling?

If you answered "yes" to any of these, help is available.
