19+ Policy
Swift Current Casino admits nobody under the age of 19, and this rule has no exceptions at all. Below you will find how age checks work here, what we do when a minor gets through them, and practical steps parents and households can take to keep children off gambling websites.
Playing at 19 and over only
Opening an account, depositing, playing our games and claiming offers are all for players aged 19 and over. The rule is the same for everyone, no matter where they log in from.
When you create an account, you tell us you meet this age rule. Giving a false birth date breaks our Account Terms and leads to the account being closed.
We serve players only where gambling is legal, and Canadian rules on age checks, ID checks and money laundering guide how we work. Keeping minors off our site is a big part of that commitment.
Checking your age
We use several layers of checks to confirm that every player is an adult:
- At sign up: our system checks the date of birth you provide and stops anyone under 19 from continuing.
- Before your first deposit: your identity and location are confirmed, often electronically using trusted data sources.
- With documents where needed: if electronic checks are not enough, we request photo identification and proof of address.
- Through payments: every card, bank account or wallet used must belong to the account holder.
These checks can be run again whenever there is a sign that a player may be under 19, for example details in a message or an unusual change in play. Our KYC & AML Policy describes the documents we request in more detail.
Acting when a minor is found
Should we discover that an account holder is below the age of 19, we respond at once. The account is shut without delay, and all wagers placed along with any winnings are cancelled.
Deposits are returned, when legally possible, through the earliest payment method on the account. We also block that account's personal details so they can't be used to set up a new account.
An adult who knowingly gave a minor access to their account or payment method may have their own account closed too. The aim is clear: nobody below 19 should gamble at our casino.
Sharing devices safely
If the whole household shares a laptop, tablet or phone, a few simple habits can keep young people away from your account:
- Never share your password, and do not let your browser remember it.
- Always log out when your session ends.
- Create a separate user profile for every family member.
- Lock your devices with a PIN, password or fingerprint.
- Keep bank cards and payment details out of reach.
- Avoid playing in front of children where you can.
These small steps go a long way. They protect young people, and they protect your money too.
Using parental controls and filters
The majority of smartphones, tablets, computers and gaming consoles include built-in family settings. With them you can restrict specific apps, filter web content and make downloads or purchases depend on a parent's approval.
A lot of home internet routers include filters as well, able to shut out entire groups of websites, gambling among them, on all devices connected to your network. Specialized filtering programs can provide an extra layer of protection.
Where gambling sites are concerned, BetGuard offers blocking software that prevents access from your devices. Internet Matters gives parents advice on configuring controls and on discussing online safety with their children.
Filters work best alongside open conversations. Talking with young people about what gambling is, and why it is for adults only, helps them make good choices.
Reporting underage play
If you believe a player at our casino is younger than 19, please let us know by email. Include any details you have, such as the account's email address or the name on it.
We treat every report in confidence, look into it quickly and take action where needed. You do not need to be the account holder to tell us.
