Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online gambling through Interac casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it carries risks and should only be undertaken with money you can afford to lose. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your Canadian province to access Interac casino services. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet these legal requirements before participating in any gambling activities. We are committed to preventing underage gambling.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Constantly thinking about gambling or planning the next gambling session
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time and money spent
- Gambling to escape problems or relieve stress, anxiety, or depression
- Neglecting family, work, or educational responsibilities
- Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
- Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gambling
- Feeling irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
Self-Help Tools & Features
Most reputable Interac casinos offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe

- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during gaming sessions to help you stay aware of time and money spent
- Session Timeouts: Automatically log out after a set period of time
