Payment-request safety
Interac casino payment requests: verify before you send
An Interac notice, sender name or claimed casino withdrawal does not establish that another transfer is required.

The guide reports verified programme or complaint processes. It does not promise an outcome or turn a complaint into a finding.
Do not rely on the message itself
An unexpected Interac request, notification or payment instruction can use familiar names and urgent language. Verify through the financial institution or payment provider using a contact route you found independently, not a link or number in the message.
Keep the payment product separate
Interac is a payment service, not a finding about a casino, recipient or withdrawal. A claimed tax, verification or release fee needs independent verification before money is sent.
Preserve useful facts
Keep the sender details, date, amount, exact website, account messages and transaction reference. Do not share passwords, one-time codes or full identity documents with someone offering a payment fix.
Describe the transaction accurately
An unrecognised transaction and an authorised payment dispute are not the same. Contact the financial institution promptly for an unrecognised transfer and ask which process applies to an authorised payment dispute. Neither route guarantees a recovery.
Avoid the second loss
Do not send a new transfer to unlock a previous payment or withdrawal. A person who requests another fee or transfer may create a separate risk; pause and verify through official channels.
Reduce gambling access
Remove saved payment options and use confidential gambling support if the message is creating pressure to deposit or chase a loss. Support is separate from the financial-reporting process.
