Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Dent Uro Rive Sud, we believe that online gaming through Interac casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. It should only be played with money you can afford to lose, and only when you're in a positive frame of mind.

We're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting our visitors in Canada in making informed decisions about their gaming activities.

Age Verification

Online gaming is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal gambling age in your province or territory. Many online casinos require verification before allowing access to gaming services. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet all legal requirements in your jurisdiction before participating in online gambling.

We encourage parents and guardians to discuss the risks of gambling with young people and to use parental controls where available.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:

• Chasing losses: Continuing to gamble to recover money you've lost
• Hiding gambling: Concealing the amount of time or money spent gambling from friends or family
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
• Increasing amounts: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Loss of control: Inability to stick to time or money limits you've set
• Mood changes: Gambling to escape negative feelings or stress
• Financial strain: Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling activities
• Relationship problems: Conflicts with loved ones about your gaming habits
• Irritability when not gaming: Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it's important to seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
• Betting Limits: Restrict the maximum bet amount per spin or hand
• Reality Checks: Regular reminders of how long you've been gaming and how much you've spent
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic interruptions or session end times
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming sites and Interac casino services

Always use these tools proactively and review your settings regularly.
