Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Salon de la Forêt, we believe that online gaming through Interac casinos should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we offer exciting gaming opportunities, it's important to play responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Players must be at least 18 years of age or older to participate in online gaming in Canada. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify all players' ages during registration.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
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 lost money
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Neglecting work, school, family, or personal relationships due to gaming
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling as a way to solve financial problems
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable Interac casinos offer the following tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic breaks or session end times
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gaming platforms

We encourage you to utilize these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
