Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment Only
At raconte-moi.ca, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Casino games are designed for fun, and the odds always favor the house. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and always set strict limits before you play.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province) to gamble in Canada. We strictly enforce age verification on our platform. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following behaviors, you may be developing a gambling problem. Please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses: Trying to recover lost money by gambling more
- Hiding gambling activity: Keeping your gambling secret from family or friends
- Spending more than intended: Gambling longer or with more money than planned
- Preoccupation with gambling: Constantly thinking about gambling or your next session
- Gambling to escape problems: Using gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression
- Lying about gambling: Being dishonest about the amount of time or money spent
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling activity
