Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Cactus Plant Flea Market, we believe online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting our players in Canada and beyond.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set limits you can afford to lose, and never chase your losses.
Age Verification
All players must be at least 18 years of age or older, or meet the legal gambling age in their respective province or territory in Canada.
We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. Players who do not meet the legal age requirement are prohibited from using our platform.
