Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At BC Export Asia Pacific, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we offer exciting gaming experiences through Interac Casino Canada, it's important to approach gambling responsibly and within your means.
Remember: the house always has a mathematical advantage. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
All players must be at least 18 years of age or the legal age for gambling in their Canadian province or territory, whichever is greater. Some provinces may have higher age requirements. It is your responsibility to verify your local legal gambling age before participating.
We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. Playing underage is illegal and can result in account termination and forfeiture of funds.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in your gaming behavior, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- ☐ Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, utilities)
- ☐ Repeatedly trying to win back losses ("chasing losses")
- ☐ Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- ☐ Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
- ☐ Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- ☐ Borrowing money to fund gambling
- ☐ Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- ☐ Lying about the extent of your gambling
- ☐ Experiencing mood swings or depression related to gambling
- ☐ Failed attempts to cut back or quit gambling
If you've checked any of these boxes, it's time to seek help.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Many online casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit over a specific period (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during play about time spent and money wagered
- Time-Out/Cooling-Off Period: Take a mandatory break from gambling for a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing your account for an extended period
Use these tools proactively. Set limits before you play, not after losses occur.
