Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Interac Casino Canada, we believe that online gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your province, whichever is higher). We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify all players' ages during registration. If you are under the legal age, you must not gamble online.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please review the following warning signs and seek help if you recognize any of these behaviors in yourself or someone you know:
- Chasing Losses: Continuing to gamble to try to win back money you've lost
- Hiding Gambling Activity: Concealing your gambling habits from family, friends, or partners
- Spending More Time and Money: Gradually increasing the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Inability to Stop: Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or quit gambling
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or personal obligations due to gambling
- Gambling to Escape: Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression
- Borrowing Money: Taking loans or borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Irritability When Not Gambling: Becoming anxious or irritable when you cannot gamble
- Failed Relationships: Gambling causing conflict with family or friends
- Financial Problems: Experiencing debt, unpaid bills, or financial instability due to gambling

Most licensed online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling. Consider using the following features:

These tools are designed to empower you to gamble responsibly. Use them proactively to manage your gaming behavior.
