Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At pierrebrunelle.com, we believe that online casino gaming through Interac platforms should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please play responsibly and within your means.
Set a budget you can afford to lose, play for fun, and always remember that the house has an edge. If you're playing to make money or recover losses, it's time to seek help.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your Canadian province to use online casinos. We take age verification seriously and comply with all Canadian provincial regulations. By using our recommended casinos, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.

Self-Help Tools Available at Casinos

- Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on how much you're willing to lose in a time period
