Responsible Gaming

Gambling as Entertainment

At Interac Casino Canada, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed purely as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Casino games are based on chance, and the odds always favor the house. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.

Age Verification

In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province) to participate in gambling activities. Some provinces have higher age restrictions. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet all local legal requirements before playing. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use our platform.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the extent of gambling
• Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities
• Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other negative emotions
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Jeopardizing relationships, job, or educational opportunities due to gambling
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement

If any of these apply to you, help is available.
