Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
Online casino gaming through Interac casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is not a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view gambling as an investment or income source.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age in your province) to participate in online gambling. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, please do not use our affiliate casinos.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following behaviors in yourself, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or loved ones
- Gambling with money meant for essential expenses (rent, food, utilities)
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, school, or relationships due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to finance gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Experiencing financial problems as a result of gambling
If you are experiencing any of these warning signs, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gambling Features
Most reputable online casinos offer 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: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping play
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic reminders or cutoffs for how long you can play in one session
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up notifications during play to keep you aware of time and money spent
