Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Le Patrimoine CA, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyable entertainment only. It should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please always gamble within your means and remember that the house always has an edge. If you find yourself gambling to make money or recover losses, it's time to seek help.
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 or territory. By accessing our website and participating in gaming activities, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.
We take age verification seriously and employ strict measures to prevent underage gambling. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental controls and monitoring software to protect minors.
