Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At RPM Promo, we believe that online casino gaming through Interac should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we strive to provide an enjoyable gaming experience, it's important to gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province) to participate in online casino gaming. By accessing rpmpromo.ca, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement for your jurisdiction.
Parents and Guardians: If you're concerned about a minor's online activity, please monitor their internet usage and contact your local gaming regulatory authority.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, utilities)
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time and money spent
- Experiencing mood changes, irritability, or anxiety when not gambling
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or school responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to stop or reduce gambling
- Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Missing work or important events due to gambling activities
Self-Help Tools and Player Protections
Most licensed Canadian casinos offer tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit over a specific period
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you're willing to lose in a session or time period
- Reality Checks: Receive notifications at regular intervals reminding you how long you've been playing
- Session Limits: Set automatic timeouts after a certain period of play
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gaming for a set period
- Account Closure: Permanently close your gaming account if needed
We recommend using these features as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
