Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At andreelangevin.com, we believe that online casino gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gaming outcomes are based on chance, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view gambling as an investment or income source.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming is only legal for individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Canada, or the legal age of majority in their province. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, please do not participate in any gaming activities on our affiliated casinos.
Parents and guardians: If you are concerned about a young person's gaming activity, please seek guidance from support organizations listed below.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding Your Gambling: Keeping your gaming activity secret from family and friends
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling

- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to cut down or stop gambling
- Mood Changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when not gambling
- Financial Problems: Borrowing money, using credit, or having unexplained debt
- Withdrawal Symptoms: Feeling restless or anxious when attempting to reduce gambling
- Lying About Gambling: Deceiving others about the amount of time or money spent gaming
- Gambling to Cope: Using gaming to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
If you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, please reach out for help immediately.
