Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Gouverneurs EGS Usherbroke, we believe that cryptocurrency gambling and online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices and supporting the well-being of our players.

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

Age Verification

Online gambling in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age, you are not permitted to use our services.
