Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Interac Casino Canada, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment only. Gaming should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always play within your means.

Age Verification

Online gaming in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not participate in gaming activities. We take age verification seriously and employ strict measures to ensure all players meet legal requirements.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognize any of these warning signs in your gaming habits? If so, help is available.

• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or loved ones
• Gambling with money meant for essential expenses (rent, utilities, groceries, medication)
• Spending more time and money on gaming than you intended
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you're not gambling
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
• Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or control your gaming
• Using gaming as a way to escape problems, relieve stress, or manage negative emotions
• Borrowing money or going into debt to finance your gaming
• Neglecting relationships, work, school, or personal responsibilities due to gaming

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly). Once reached, you cannot deposit additional funds.
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount of losses you're comfortable with. When this limit is reached, your account will be temporarily suspended from gaming.
• Reality Checks: Enable regular reminders during gaming sessions to help you track time and money spent.
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gaming for a specified period (days, weeks, months, or years). During this time, you cannot access your account or place bets.
• Session Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for each gaming session.

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits.
