Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At rachelwillson.ca, we believe that online casino gaming through Interac should be enjoyed as entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself gambling beyond your means or using it as a coping mechanism, it's time to seek help.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming is only for individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Canada. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all federal and provincial regulations. If you are under 18, please do not use our platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognize these warning signs in yourself or others:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills)
- Experiencing mood swings related to gambling wins or losses
- Feeling unable to stop or control your gambling
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
If any of these resonate with you, seek support immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most regulated online casinos offer built-in tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you're willing to lose in a session or period
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing the platform
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a specified period
Use these tools proactively to maintain control over your gaming habits.
