Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At Leschpountz.ca, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices for all our players in Canada.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age in your province if higher) to access and use our services. We take age verification seriously and conduct regular checks to ensure compliance with Canadian gaming regulations. If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to register or play on our platform.

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:

• Constantly thinking about gambling, planning your next gaming session, or reliving past experiences
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
• Repeatedly trying to control, cut back, or stop gambling without success
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
• Gambling to escape problems, relieve stress, anxiety, or depression
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding or lying about the extent of your gambling activities
• Risking or losing important relationships, education, or career opportunities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling activities
• Being unable to keep track of time or money spent while gambling

If any of these signs apply to you, please reach out for help immediately.
