Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Blackfoot Awakening, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling involves risk, and there is no guarantee of winning. Please play responsibly and only wager what you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your Canadian province/territory) to use this website and participate in any gaming activities. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all players during registration.
If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to register or play.

Self-Help Tools
We provide tools to help you maintain control of your gaming experience:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount of losses you are willing to accept in a given timeframe.
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during your gaming session about how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered.
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from your account for a period of time (temporary self-exclusion) or permanently (permanent account closure).
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to limit how long you can play continuously.
For more information on using these tools, please contact our customer support team or visit your account settings.
