Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At cangrc.ca, we believe that online casino gaming through Interac should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Always gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your Canadian province to use our services. It is your responsibility to verify that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction before registering or placing any wagers.

Do any of these apply to you? If so, you may be developing a gambling problem:

If you recognize these patterns in your behavior, it's important to seek help immediately.
