Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Parroisse Sacré-Cœur Casino, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself viewing gaming as an income source or a solution to financial difficulties, it may be time to seek help.
Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your province) to participate in online gaming. We strictly enforce age verification at registration and reserve the right to request additional documentation to confirm your eligibility.
If you are under the legal gaming age, please do not attempt to register or access gaming services.
