Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Aux Petits Sabots, we believe that online gaming through Interac casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gaming is never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself viewing gambling as an income source or a solution to money troubles, it's time to seek help.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set limits, play for fun, and know when to stop.
Age Verification
To play at any Interac casino in Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province, whichever is higher). Some provinces have a minimum age of 19.
By accessing our site and casino partners, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement for gambling in your jurisdiction and that you are not excluded from gambling by law.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do any of the following apply to you? If so, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing Losses: Trying to recover money lost by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling: Keeping your gambling activities secret from family or friends
- Spending More Than Planned: Gambling longer or with more money than intended
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
- Borrowing Money: Taking loans or using credit to finance gambling
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Emotional Reliance: Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
- Restlessness When Not Gambling: Feeling irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
- Lying About Gambling: Deceiving others about the extent of your gambling
- Financial Problems: Experiencing debt, unpaid bills, or financial crisis due to gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable Interac casinos offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period
- Loss Limits: Cap the maximum amount you're willing to lose during a session or week
- Time Limits: Receive reminders or auto-logout features to limit session duration
- Reality Checks: Pop-up notifications reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from a casino for a set period, preventing access to your account

Use these tools proactively to stay in control of your gaming experience.
