Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At pacificlung.ca, we believe that online 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
Online gambling in Canada is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age in your province, whichever is higher). By accessing our site, you confirm that you meet this requirement and comply with all local laws and regulations.

Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable online casinos offer built-in responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Establish a cap on losses during a gaming session
