Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At choeurcampus.ca, we believe that online gaming through Interac casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is not a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or supplement your income. Always gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your province) to participate in online gambling. It is illegal for anyone under the legal age to gamble. We are committed to responsible gaming practices and age verification on all platforms we recommend.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not proceed.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone else, seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time and money spent
- Gambling with money meant for bills, rent, or essential expenses
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Neglecting family, work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Loss of interest in hobbies and activities you once enjoyed
