Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Pro Connections LLC, we believe that online casino gaming through Interac should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to approach it responsibly and within your means.

Remember: the house always has a mathematical edge. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view gambling as an investment or income source.

Age Verification

In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your province) to participate in online casino gaming. Pro Connections LLC takes age verification seriously and complies with all applicable Canadian provincial regulations.

If you are under the legal age, please do not access gambling services. If you believe a minor has accessed gaming services, please contact the relevant provincial gaming regulator immediately.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognize any of these warning signs in your own behavior? If so, problem gambling may be developing:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent
• Gambling with money needed for bills, rent, food, or other essential expenses
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or school due to gambling
• Repeatedly unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
• Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to feel the same excitement
• Having thoughts of suicide or self-harm related to gambling losses

If you've checked any of these boxes, please reach out for help immediately.
