Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At defimarcoweber.com, we believe that online gaming through Interac casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gaming is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age in your province) to participate in online gaming. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to access gaming platforms. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor online activity and use parental controls.
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:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Spending more time and money on gaming than intended
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time or money spent
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities
- Using gaming to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gaming
- Feeling irritable or anxious when trying to reduce or stop gaming
- Failed attempts to control or reduce gaming
- Damaged relationships due to gaming activity
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable Interac 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 cap on the amount you are willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications reminding you of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic logout times after a specified duration
- Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gaming by self-excluding from platforms for a set period
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits.
