Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Northern Partners in Care, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to approach it responsibly and within your means.
We encourage all players to set limits, play for fun, and never gamble more than they can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online gaming is restricted to players who are at least 18 years of age or older, or the legal age of majority in their province or territory in Canada, whichever is greater.
By accessing Raging Bull Casino through our site, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirements in your jurisdiction and that you are not prohibited from gambling by any applicable law.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Spending more time or money on gaming than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Lying to friends or family about your gaming activities
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gaming

- Feeling irritable or anxious when trying to reduce or stop gaming
- Borrowing money to fund your gaming
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gaming
- Failed attempts to control or cut back on gaming

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it's time to seek help.
