Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At mysd68.ca, we believe that online gambling 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. It should only be pursued with money you can afford to lose, and always within your personal limits.

Please gamble responsibly and within your means. If you find yourself struggling to control your gambling habits, support is available.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). By accessing mysd68.ca, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.

We do not permit minors to gamble on our platform under any circumstances. If you are under the legal age, please do not use our services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling experiences
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
• Repeatedly attempting to cut back or stop gambling, without success
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
• Gambling to escape problems or relieve negative emotions
• Chasing losses by gambling more in an attempt to recover money lost
• Lying to family, friends, or others about gambling habits or the extent of involvement
• Jeopardizing relationships, employment, education, or financial opportunities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
• Hiding gambling activity or accounts from loved ones
• Failed attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling

If you experience any of these signs, please seek professional help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gambling Features

Many online casinos and gambling platforms offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you are willing to lose over a defined period
• Session Time Limits: Automatically log you out after a set period of gambling activity
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders about how long you have been gambling and how much you have spent
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling platforms for a set period (days, weeks, months, or years)

We encourage you to utilize these tools as part of your responsible gambling practice. Contact your casino provider to learn more about which features are available on your account.
