Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Blue Moss Ensemble, 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. Please play responsibly and within your means.
Set a budget you can afford to lose, treat it as an entertainment expense, and never gamble with money needed for essential expenses like rent, food, or utilities.
Age Verification
Online gaming in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older in most provinces, or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction. By accessing Interac casino platforms through this website, you confirm that you meet these age requirements.
If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to register or participate in any gaming activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more money to recover what you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or other essential expenses
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or colleagues
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Jeopardizing relationships, employment, or educational opportunities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or emotional problems
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself, it may be time to seek help.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most Interac casinos offer built-in responsible gaming tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you're willing to lose during a session or time period
- Session Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic logouts after a predetermined period of play
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications about your play time and spending
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gaming platforms for a set period or indefinitely
Use these tools proactively. Most responsible operators make them easily accessible in account settings.
