Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Collaborate Global, we believe that online casino gaming through Interac should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to play within your means and maintain control over your gaming habits.
Please remember: the house always has a mathematical advantage. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal gambling age in your province or territory, whichever is greater.
All players must verify their age before opening an account. If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, you are not permitted to participate in online gaming activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be developing:
- Chasing Losses: Returning to gamble to recover money you've lost
- Hiding Your Gambling: Being secretive about the amount of time or money spent gaming
- Increasing Stakes: Needing to bet more money to achieve the same excitement
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Prioritizing gaming over work, school, family, or relationships
- Borrowing Money: Taking loans or using credit to fund gaming activities
- Loss of Control: Being unable to stop or reduce your gaming despite wanting to
- Mood Changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when not gaming
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gaming
- Gambling as Escape: Using gaming to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or other problems
