Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Lincoln Landing, we believe that online gaming through Interac casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gaming outcomes are determined by chance, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your Canadian province, whichever is higher) to participate in online gaming. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and maintaining a safe gaming environment for all players.
Parents and guardians: If you are concerned about a young person's gaming habits, please reach out to the organizations listed below for support and resources.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you or someone you know exhibits any of the following signs, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time and money spent
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, utilities)
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Unable to cut back or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Failed attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most Interac casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a cap on the amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session or time period
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders that notify you of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from a casino for a period of time (days to years) if you feel your gaming is becoming problematic
- Session Timeouts: Automatically end your gaming session after a set period of inactivity
- Account Restrictions: Request temporary or permanent account closures
We encourage all players to use these tools proactively to manage their gaming habits responsibly.
