Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At medi-tex.org, we believe that online gaming through Neteller and other platforms should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please play responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
By accessing and using gaming services on this website, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your province in Canada, whichever is higher. Gaming is strictly prohibited for individuals under the legal age in their jurisdiction.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not proceed with any gaming activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate a problem with gambling:
- Chasing losses: Trying to recover money lost by gambling more
- Hiding gambling activity: Concealing the extent of your gambling from family or friends
- Loss of control: Unable to stick to predetermined limits or stop when intended
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose: Using rent, bill, or essential expense money for gaming
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
- Increased gambling: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when not gambling
- Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Borrowing money: Seeking loans or credit to fund gambling activities
- Relationship conflicts: Arguments with loved ones about gambling habits
If you recognize any of these signs in your behavior, it may be time to seek help.
Self-Help Tools and Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable gaming platforms, including those accepting Neteller payments, offer 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: Establish a cap on the amount you're willing to lose within a set timeframe
- Session Limits: Set time restrictions for your gaming sessions to prevent extended play
- Reality Checks: Enable notifications during gameplay to remind you of time spent and money wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gaming sites for a specified period, ranging from days to years

We strongly encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
