Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Loisirs Angus Bourbonnière, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While online gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to approach it responsibly and within your means.
Remember: the house always has a mathematical advantage. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gaming activities (or the legal age in your province, whichever is higher). Some provinces have higher age restrictions.
If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, please do not participate. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verifying the age of all players.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you or someone you know exhibits any of the following behaviors, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover previous losses
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent gaming
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food, medication)
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Constantly thinking about gaming or planning the next gambling session
- Needing to gamble with increasingly larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gaming activities
