Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Cathy Dia Press, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online casino gaming through Interac casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your Canadian province or territory) to access and use our services. It is illegal for anyone under the legal gambling age to participate in online casino gaming. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to verify your identity at any time.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable Interac casinos offer 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: Cap the amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic log-offs after a certain amount of time
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications reminding you of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily ban yourself from accessing the casino for a specified period
- Account Pause/Closure: Temporarily suspend or permanently close your account
We strongly encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
