Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At fondationbasiliquenddm.org, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes problematic.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your province) to participate in online gaming in Canada. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to access gaming services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognize any of the following warning signs in your own behavior, please seek help immediately:

• Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding your gambling activity or lying about the amount you gamble
• Neglecting family, work, school, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Experiencing anxiety, depression, or irritability related to gambling
• Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
• Unable to cut back or stop gambling despite wanting to
• Using gambling to escape problems or difficult emotions
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Relationship conflicts due to your gambling
