Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Interac Casino Canada, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment only. It is important to understand that gambling is not a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Games of chance are designed with a house edge, meaning the odds always favor the casino in the long run. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose and treat any winnings as a pleasant bonus, not an expectation.
Age Verification & Legal Eligibility
Online gambling in Canada is only for individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province or territory). By accessing our affiliate content and casino partners, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction. We take underage gambling prevention seriously and encourage parents and guardians to monitor online activity.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in your own behavior, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money you've lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Lying to family, friends, or others about the extent of your gambling
- Hiding gambling activity or spending time gambling secretly
- Neglecting work, school, family, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or control gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Risking important relationships or opportunities due to gambling
If you experience any of these signs, seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable online casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set period
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log you out after a predetermined gaming session duration
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing casino platforms for a period you choose (typically 6 months to several years)
We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of responsible gaming practice.
