Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

We believe that online gaming through Interac casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself gambling to make money or recover losses, it may be time to seek help.

Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set limits, play for fun, and never wager more than you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age in your province) to participate in online gaming. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet the legal requirements in your jurisdiction before creating an account or placing any bets.

Parents and guardians: Please monitor your household's internet activity and use parental controls to prevent underage gambling.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know?

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities from family or friends
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Lying about the extent of your gambling
• Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling

If you identify with any of these signs, we encourage you to seek professional support immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Player Protections

Most reputable Interac casinos offer the following tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a cap on the amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
• Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a predetermined period of play
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you need a break from gaming

Take advantage of these tools. They're designed to help you play responsibly and maintain control of your gaming habits.
