Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Satya Yoga SC, we believe that online gaming through Interac casinos should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Remember: the house always has an edge, and you should only wager money you can afford to lose.

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, whichever is higher). We are committed to preventing underage gambling and reserve the right to verify your age at any time. If you are under the legal age, please do not participate in online gaming.

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:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, groceries, or other essentials
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time or money spent
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut back or stop gambling
• Neglecting work, school, family, or relationships due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
• Unsuccessfully attempting to reduce or control gambling
• Using gambling as an escape from stress, depression, or anxiety
• Experiencing a "rush" or high from gambling that you keep chasing
• Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same effect

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable Interac casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the total amount you're willing to lose in a session or time period
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders during gaming sessions about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Session Time Limits: Automatically end your gaming session after a set duration
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from a casino for a period you choose (days, weeks, months, or longer)
• Cooling-Off Periods: Take a break from gambling before re-activating your account

We strongly encourage you to use these tools if you feel your gambling may be getting out of control.
