Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At immeubleslaflamme.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only—not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province or territory). By accessing our site and participating in online gaming, you confirm that you meet these age requirements and comply with all applicable local gambling laws.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the extent of gambling
• Experiencing relationship or work problems due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
• Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
• Inability to stop or control gambling behavior
• Jeopardizing education, career, or personal relationships
• Neglecting personal or family responsibilities

Self-Help Tools

Many online casinos and responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set maximum amounts you can deposit within a specific timeframe
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you are willing to lose
• Time Limits: Set session duration limits to prevent extended play
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during gameplay about time and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily restrict access to your account for a specified period
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if needed

We recommend speaking with your casino operator about implementing these tools on your account.
