Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At rogerware.ca, we believe that gaming should be entertainment only, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Interac casino games are designed for fun and enjoyment. If you find yourself gambling to make money, chase losses, or escape problems, it's time to seek help.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province) to participate in online gaming. Gambling is not permitted for anyone under the legal age in their jurisdiction. We are committed to protecting minors and enforce strict age verification measures.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do any of these apply to you? If so, problem gambling may be affecting your life:
- Gambling more often or with larger amounts than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gambling
- Jeopardizing education, job, or personal relationships because of gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose in a session or day
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently ban yourself from accessing gaming platforms
- Time-Out: Take a mandatory break from gambling for a set period
Use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits.
