Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At RPG Quebec, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online casino gaming should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the movies or playing sports. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems.

If you choose to gamble, please do so within your means and only with money you can afford to lose. Always gamble for fun, not for profit.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Australia is only available to persons aged 18 years and over. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not attempt to access gambling services.

We take age verification seriously and comply with all Australian gambling regulations to ensure only eligible players access our recommended platforms.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you experience any of the following signs, it may be time to seek support:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop
• Hiding gambling activities or lying to friends and family about gambling habits
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Neglecting work, school, family, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
• Jeopardizing relationships, education, or career opportunities
• Experiencing financial hardship as a result of gambling

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, professional help is available.

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gaming Features

Most reputable online casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a session or over a period of time
• Reality Checks: Receive notifications at regular intervals reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a set period to help you manage your playing time
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you feel you need a break from gambling
• Account Cooling-Off Period: Take a break from your account for a specified period before returning

We strongly encourage all players to use these tools as part of a responsible gaming strategy.
