Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At restaurantlephare.ca, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. We believe that online gaming through Interac casinos should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age in your province, whichever is higher). By accessing our site, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Experiencing relationship conflicts related to gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or cope with negative emotions
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable Interac casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gaming. Consider using:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're prepared to lose before stopping play
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders that pop up during gaming sessions to keep you aware of time and money spent
- Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended play
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your casino account or multiple casinos
- Account Restrictions: Disable certain payment methods or set spending caps
Always use these tools proactively to protect yourself and maintain enjoyable gaming habits.
