Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At somethingnewfilms.com, we believe that online casino gaming through Interac casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is not a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always play within your means.
Age Verification
Online casino gambling in Canada is restricted to individuals who are at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province, if higher). It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction before engaging in any gambling activities.
We strictly prohibit access to our affiliate casinos by anyone under the legal gambling age. If you are under 18, please do not use Interac casino services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please review the following checklist. If you recognize any of these signs in your own behavior, consider reaching out for support:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Hiding or lying about your gambling activities from friends and family
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Experiencing anxiety, depression, or irritability when unable to gamble
- Using gambling as a way to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Feeling a sense of loss of control over your gambling behavior
Self-Help Tools and Resources
Most reputable Interac casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a gambling session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during play about how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing casino sites for a period of time (days, weeks, months, or permanently)
- Time-Out: Take temporary breaks from gambling to reassess your habits
We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
