Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Safe Gaming

At Atlantic Ink, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Interac casino gaming should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. If you choose to play, please do so responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Canada is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). Atlantic Ink is committed to preventing underage gambling and verifies the age of all players.

Underage gambling is illegal. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access our services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Be aware of these warning signs:

  • Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
  • Hiding gambling: Keeping your gambling activities secret from family or friends
  • Loss of control: Being unable to stop or limit your gambling
  • Gambling with money you can't afford to lose: Using rent, bills, or essential expenses for gambling
  • Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family time due to gambling
  • Mood changes: Becoming irritable or anxious when not gambling
  • Increasing stakes: Needing to gamble larger amounts to feel the same excitement
  • Borrowing money to gamble: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling activities
  • Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to stop or reduce gambling
  • Using gambling to escape problems: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression

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

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable casinos offer tools to help you maintain control:

  • Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit in a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
  • Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're comfortable losing
  • Reality Checks: Enable reminders during play sessions to help you stay aware of time and money spent
  • Session Time Limits: Set automatic breaks or session duration limits
  • Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming platforms
