Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Interac Casino Canada, we believe that online gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Canada is restricted to players who are 19 years of age or older in most provinces (18+ in Alberta and Quebec). We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all players before allowing access to our platform. If you are under the legal gambling age in your province, please do not attempt to register or play.
