Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Club de Voile Madeleinot, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment—a fun activity with money you can afford to lose. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.
Age Verification
All players must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction in Canada) to access and play on Interac casinos. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time. If you are under the legal age, you must not access our site.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognize any of these signs in your own behavior? If so, help is available.
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills)
- Spending more time or money gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Lying about the extent of your gambling activities
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Feeling unable to control or stop gambling despite wanting to
If you recognize several of these signs, please reach out to a support organization immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Many Interac casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the maximum amount you're willing to lose during a session or over time
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a predetermined period of play
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block yourself from accessing gambling sites
We recommend using these tools proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits. Contact your casino's customer support team to activate any of these features.
