Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Coupe Canada Plongeon, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. When playing at online casinos, please only spend money you can afford to lose, and never view gaming as an investment or income source.
Age Verification
Online gaming in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age before processing withdrawals or continuing play.
If you are under the legal gaming age, please do not create an account or attempt to play.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in your own behavior, problem gambling may be developing:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or colleagues
- Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other difficult emotions
- Lying to others about the extent of your gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Feeling unable to cut back or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
If you identify with any of these warning signs, we encourage you to reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Many online casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given time frame
- Reality Checks: Request periodic reminders during play sessions to help you stay aware of time and money spent
- Session Limits: Automatically close your gaming session after a set period of time
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gaming platforms
