Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Pontiac Group, we believe that online casino gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling always carries risk, and the odds are always in favor of the house. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province) to participate in online casino gaming. Pontiac Group is committed to preventing underage gambling and reserves the right to verify your age at any time.
If you are under the legal age in your jurisdiction, please do not use our platform.
