Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Road King Wok N Grill, we believe that online gaming through Interac casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It's important to approach gaming with a responsible mindset and only wager what you can afford to lose.
Set a budget for your gaming activities, treat any losses as the cost of entertainment, and never gamble with money needed for essentials like rent, food, or bills.
Age Verification
Online gaming is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Canada. Players must be of legal gambling age in their province or territory. By accessing any gaming platform through our site, you confirm that you meet these age requirements and are legally eligible to participate in online gambling in your jurisdiction.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Be aware of these warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or loved ones
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Neglecting work, school, family, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent on gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Failed attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling
- Experiencing physical symptoms like sleep disturbances or appetite changes
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone else, it's important to seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Safeguards
Most Interac casinos offer tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic reminders or cutoffs for how long you play
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications during play to remind you how long you've been gaming
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing gaming platforms for a set period
- Account Cooling-Off Periods: Take a mandatory break from your account
Use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits and stay in control.
