Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At nickelectrique.ca, 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. Please play responsibly and within your means.
Set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it. Remember that the house always has a mathematical advantage, and losing is always a possibility.
Age Verification
By using nickelectrique.ca and accessing any affiliated Interac casino, you confirm that you are:
- At least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your Canadian province)
- Legally permitted to gamble in your jurisdiction
- Not a self-excluded player from any casino operator
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not access our services. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be developing:
