Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Wedgewood Motel Casino, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we offer exciting games and the convenience of instant INTERAC withdrawals, it's important to approach gaming responsibly and within your means.
Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and never view gambling as a source of income.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Canada is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the applicable legal age in your province). We are committed to preventing underage gambling and require all players to verify their age during registration.
If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, you are not permitted to use our platform.
