Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Innovative Scale, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Cryptocurrency casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gaming becomes problematic.
Age Verification
Crypto casino gaming in Canada is restricted to individuals who are at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your province, whichever is higher. We verify the age of all players before allowing access to our platform. If you are under the legal age, you must not use this service.
