Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Ryerson Concrete Toboggan, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gaming through Interac casinos should be viewed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all our visitors to gamble responsibly and within their means.
Age Verification
Online gaming in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). By accessing our site and participating in any gaming activities, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent
- Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Increasing the amount wagered to achieve the same level of excitement
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable Interac casinos offer self-help tools to support responsible gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount of losses you're comfortable accepting
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Limits: Set time limits for your gaming sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming platforms
- Account Closure: Permanently close your gaming account if needed
We recommend taking advantage of these tools when you register or at any time during your gaming experience.
