Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Best PC4U, we believe gambling should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never use funds needed for essential expenses like rent, utilities, or groceries.

Playing at Interac casinos should be fun and enjoyable. If it stops being fun, it's time to seek help.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your Canadian province) to gamble online. It is illegal for anyone under the legal age to participate in gambling activities.

All licensed Interac casinos in Canada require age verification before allowing account registration and deposits.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be present:

• Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
• Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or loved ones
• Spending more time or money on gambling than planned
• Becoming irritable, anxious, or restless when not gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative feelings
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
• Failing at attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Jeopardizing important relationships or opportunities due to gambling

Self-Help Tools & Features

Responsible Interac casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you're willing to lose during a session or time frame
• Time-Out/Reality Checks: Take breaks with reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
