Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Courir Autour du Monde, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Casino games are designed with a built-in house advantage, which means that over time, players are statistically likely to lose money. Never view gambling as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Play only with money you can afford to lose, and always set strict limits on your spending.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). By accessing our site and playing at our affiliated casinos, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and reserve the right to verify your age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop quickly. If you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses: Continuing to gamble to win back money you've lost
- Hiding gambling activity: Concealing the amount of time or money spent gambling from family and friends
- Gambling with borrowed money: Using credit cards, loans, or borrowed funds to gamble
- Loss of control: Being unable to stop gambling or stick to your limits
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
- Mood changes: Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or depression when unable to gamble
- Escalating stakes: Needing to bet more money to feel the same level of excitement
- Relationship strain: Conflicts with family or friends about your gambling habits
- Financial problems: Struggling to pay bills or facing debt due to gambling losses
- Lying about gambling: Dishonesty with loved ones regarding your gambling activity
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control. Take advantage of these features:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you can lose within a given timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended gambling periods
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your gaming account
- Account Cooling-Off Period: Take a break from gambling by temporarily suspending your account
If your affiliated casino does not offer these tools, we strongly encourage you to contact their customer support and request them.
