Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution
At Sassy Hair Collection, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online gaming through Interac casinos should be enjoyed as entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always set strict limits before you begin playing.
Age Verification
Online gaming in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your province, whichever is higher). We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under the legal age, please do not access gaming platforms.
Parents and guardians: If you're concerned about a young person's online activity, please monitor their internet usage and speak with them about responsible digital behavior.
