Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Constructing Impressions, we believe that online casino gaming through Interac should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and you should never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming in Canada is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your province, whichever is higher). By accessing our site, you confirm that you meet these age requirements. We take underage gambling very seriously and employ strict verification measures.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in your own behavior, please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding gambling activity: Being secretive about the time or money you spend gambling
- Increasing bets: Needing to bet more money to get the same level of excitement
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
- Borrowing to gamble: Taking out loans or using credit to fund gambling
- Loss of control: Being unable to stop or reduce your gambling despite wanting to
- Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Relationship problems: Arguments with family or friends about your gambling
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you're willing to deposit within a specific time period
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money 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 an automatic logout after a predetermined period
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from your gaming account for a set period or permanently
We encourage you to use these tools to maintain healthy gaming habits.
