Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At Type II Partners, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to a movie or attending a concert. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems.

When you play at any of our recommended Interac casinos, please remember that the house always has a mathematical advantage. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set strict limits before you begin.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age in your province, whichever is higher). By accessing and using our recommended casinos, you confirm that you meet the minimum legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.

If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not proceed. If you are aware of minors attempting to gamble, please contact local authorities or the gaming platform.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop quickly and affect your finances, relationships, and mental health. Be honest with yourself and watch for these warning signs:

• Chasing Losses — Gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding Gambling Activity — Keeping gambling secret from family, friends, or partners
• Gambling with Borrowed Money — Using credit cards, loans, or borrowed funds to gamble
• Neglecting Responsibilities — Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
• Increasing Bets — Needing to bet more money to get the same excitement
• Loss of Control — Unable to stop or cut back despite wanting to
• Gambling to Escape Problems — Using gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression
• Relationship Conflicts — Arguments with loved ones about gambling habits
• Financial Difficulties — Struggling to pay bills or having mounting debts
• Mood Changes — Irritability, anxiety, or restlessness when not gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

All reputable online casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control. Use these features:

• Deposit Limits — Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, monthly)
• Loss Limits — Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping play
• Reality Checks — Receive regular pop-up reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Session Time Limits — Set automatic logout after a predetermined period
• Self-Exclusion — Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a casino or multiple casinos
• Account Verification — Review your account history, spending, and gaming patterns regularly

We recommend setting limits before you start playing and taking breaks during extended sessions.
