Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution

At Fracture Industries, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online casino gaming through Interac should be enjoyed as entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your Canadian province) to use our services and access casino games. We take age verification seriously and comply with all applicable Canadian gaming regulations.

If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, please do not proceed. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor online activity and discuss responsible gaming with young people in their care.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know?

• Chasing losses: Continuing to gamble to recover money you've lost
• Hiding gambling activity: Being secretive about how much time or money you spend gambling
• Loss of control: Gambling longer or with more money than intended
• Neglecting responsibilities: Gambling instead of attending to work, school, family, or personal obligations
• Financial strain: Borrowing money to gamble or gambling with money needed for essentials
• Relationship problems: Experiencing conflict with family or friends due to your gambling
• Mood changes: Using gambling to escape negative emotions or stress
• Failed attempts to quit: Unsuccessful efforts to cut back or stop gambling

If you recognize these signs in your behavior, help is available. Please reach out to a support organization immediately.
