Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At pachouinard.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be viewed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if they feel their gaming is becoming problematic.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age, or the legal age for gambling in your Canadian province or territory, to use our website and play at online casinos using Neteller. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. Gambling by minors is illegal and harmful.
