Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online casino gaming through Interac casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to remember that the house always has a mathematical advantage. Only play with money you can afford to lose, and set strict limits on your spending.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age in your province) to participate in online casino gaming. It is illegal for minors to gamble. All Interac casinos require age verification before allowing account creation or deposits.
If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, you cannot and should not use these services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognize these warning signs that gambling may be becoming a problem:
- Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling: Concealing the extent of your gambling from friends or family
- Loss of Control: Gambling longer or with more money than intended
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
- Borrowing Money: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling
- Mood Changes: Becoming anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Escalating Stakes: Needing to bet larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Using Gambling to Escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or other problems
- Relationship Strain: Conflicts with loved ones over gambling habits
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most Interac casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given time period
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic reminders or cutoffs for how long you play
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up notifications during gameplay reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from an online casino
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if needed
Take advantage of these tools. Using them is a sign of responsible gaming, not weakness.
