Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution
At Lorelie's Bistro, we believe online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your Canadian province) to access and use our services. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all provincial regulations across Canada.
If you are under the legal age, please do not proceed with gambling activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognize these warning signs in yourself or others:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about time/money spent
- Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts to feel the same excitement
- Neglecting family, work, school, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Jeopardizing relationships, employment, or educational opportunities
If you recognize any of these signs, please seek help immediately.

We provide tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given period
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications about your gaming session duration and spending
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from our platform for a period you choose (typically 6 months to permanent)
