Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Satya Yoga SC, we believe that online gaming through Interac casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. It should only be played with money you can afford to lose, as part of a balanced lifestyle.
We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting the wellbeing of our visitors.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (19+ in some provinces). It is illegal for anyone under the legal age to participate in gambling activities.
If you are under the legal gambling age in your province, please do not access casino services. We take age verification seriously and all licensed operators require proof of age before deposits or gameplay.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses: Continuing to gamble to try to recover money you've lost
- Hiding gambling activity: Concealing the extent of your gambling from family or friends
- Increased gambling: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to get the same excitement
- Loss of control: Being unable to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
- Financial problems: Borrowing money, using credit, or facing debt due to gambling
- Mood changes: Becoming anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Using gambling to escape: Gambling to cope with stress, depression, or other problems

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most licensed Interac casinos offer the following tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping play
- Reality Checks: Receive regular pop-up reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log off after a set period of time
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing casino accounts for a defined period (days to years)
- Account Cooling-Off: Request a temporary pause on your account to reconsider your gaming habits
We encourage you to use these tools proactively, even if you don't think you have a problem. They are designed to keep gaming fun and within your control.
