Responsible Gaming

    Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

    Gaming Should Be Entertainment

    At Pardone.ca, 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. Gaming outcomes are based on chance, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Please only wager what you can afford to lose.

    Age Verification

    By accessing Pardone.ca and affiliated Interac casinos, you confirm that you are:

    • At least 18 years of age, or the legal age of majority in your Canadian province or territory
    • Not prohibited by local laws from participating in online gaming
    • Accessing these services from a jurisdiction where they are legal

    It is illegal for anyone under the legal gaming age to participate in gambling activities.

    If you recognize any of the following signs, you may be developing a problem with gambling. Please seek help:

    • Chasing losses by gambling more money to recover what you've lost

    • Increasing the amount or frequency of gambling to achieve the same excitement
    • Feeling irritable or anxious when trying to reduce or stop gambling
    • Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
    • Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
    • Unsuccessful attempts to control or stop gambling
    • Using gaming as a way to escape problems or negative emotions
    • Gambling beyond your predetermined budget or time limits

    • Deposit Limits: Set maximum amounts you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
    • Loss Limits: Establish a cap on losses you're willing to accept
    • Reality Checks: Receive reminders during gaming sessions to help you stay aware of time and money spent
    • Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended gambling periods
    • Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gaming platforms for a specified period (days, weeks, months, or permanently)
