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.

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:

• Chasing Losses: Repeatedly trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding Gambling Activity: Being secretive about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Difficulty Controlling Gambling: Being unable to stick to time or money limits you've set
• Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
• Increasing Amounts: Needing to gamble with larger amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
• Withdrawal Symptoms: Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Financial Strain: Using credit, loans, or savings intended for other purposes to gamble
• Failed Attempts to Quit: Making unsuccessful efforts to reduce or stop gambling
