The MapleTop10Casinos.com platform, accessible at https://mapletop10casinos.com, is operated by Digital Forge LTD, 12 Agiou Therapontos, Morfeas Complex, Flat 2, Paphos, 8036, Cyprus (“Digital Forge LTD”). The platform is an independent information and review service directed exclusively to adults resident in Canada who have reached the legal gambling age in their province or territory of residence. It does not host, facilitate, or operate gambling or wagering services of any kind. All third-party links to licensed operators are provided for informational purposes only, and participation in online gambling remains solely between the user and the applicable licensed operator.
This Responsible Gaming Policy establishes the framework, safeguards, and procedures adopted by Digital Forge LTD to promote responsible gaming and to mitigate gambling-related harms in connection with the use of the MapleTop10Casinos.com platform (“Platform”). The Policy is intended to complement applicable Canadian federal and provincial laws, including but not limited to the Criminal Code (Canada), the Competition Act (Canada), the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), and all relevant provincial consumer protection and gaming laws, including Québec’s Law 25 regarding the protection of personal information. The Platform does not provide gambling opportunities or conduct gaming transactions. However, because it publishes reviews, rankings, and educational resources related to online casinos, it adopts a harm-minimisation framework consistent with the principles of responsible gaming. Digital Forge LTD recognises that gambling is a regulated form of entertainment that can pose risks when not approached responsibly. The Platform’s commitment includes transparency, user control, and referral to qualified support services.
Access to the Platform is strictly limited to individuals who have reached the legal gambling age in their province or territory of residence (generally 18 or 19 years old, depending on jurisdiction). Users must confirm their age before accessing or using any portion of the Platform. By using the Platform, each user represents and warrants that they are of legal gambling age in their place of residence and legally permitted to view the content provided. Digital Forge LTD reserves the right to request age verification or identification documents at any time. If the Platform becomes aware that a user is underage or has provided false or misleading information, access will be immediately terminated, and any relevant information may be provided to regulatory authorities if required by law.
Although MapleTop10Casinos.com does not host gambling activities, it promotes awareness of user-level control mechanisms offered by licensed operators. The Platform provides educational information on tools that Canadian users can apply to manage their gambling activity with third-party operators. These tools are referenced for informational purposes only.
Users are encouraged to use the following responsible play tools commonly available at licensed Canadian operators:
The Platform maintains a Responsible Gaming information hub that explains how these mechanisms work and directs users to official provincial or territorial gaming authorities that support similar responsible gaming measures. Users may request further information by contacting support@mapletop10casinos.com.
Self-exclusion is a voluntary program that allows individuals to prohibit themselves from accessing gambling services for a specific period or indefinitely. MapleTop10Casinos.com does not operate gambling accounts, but it supports and promotes Canada-wide self-exclusion initiatives available through provincial regulators and licensed operators. Each province and territory in Canada operates or recognises a responsible gaming or self-exclusion system. For example:
The Platform provides links and referral information to these provincial programs through its Responsible Gaming resources page. Once a user self-excludes through an official program, access to participating gaming operators is restricted for the chosen period. Self-exclusion requests cannot be revoked until the applicable period has expired.
Most individuals engage in gaming responsibly. However, some may display behaviours indicative of potential risk. MapleTop10Casinos.com recognises these risk indicators to promote early awareness and harm reduction, even though it does not host gambling activity or user accounts that involve wagering. Digital Forge LTD monitors the Platform for indicators of possible problem gambling where user engagement, comments, or enquiries suggest distress or excessive focus on gambling content. These indicators may include:
Where such indicators arise, Digital Forge LTD may take reasonable measures, including providing information on responsible gaming resources, refusing correspondence that may encourage harmful behaviour, or restricting Platform access to maintain compliance and user wellbeing. All observation and handling of potential risk indicators are conducted strictly for responsible gaming and compliance purposes, not for profiling, marketing, or data monetisation.
The Platform provides users with access to third-party self-assessment tools to help evaluate personal gaming habits and identify potential risk. These tools are not diagnostic instruments but offer an opportunity for self-reflection. Recommended self-assessment resources include:
Results from these assessments are for personal use only and are not collected or stored by MapleTop10Casinos.com. Users who identify potential concerns are encouraged to seek professional assistance or activate provincial self-exclusion mechanisms.
