Tools, guidance, and 24/7 support in Canada • Ontario 19+

What responsible play means

Set limits on deposits and time. Treat gaming as entertainment — not a way to make money. Know your boundaries and take breaks.

Warning signs

Watch for signs that may indicate a problem:

  • Spending more time or money than planned;
  • Neglecting work, school, or relationships;
  • Hiding the truth about your spending;
  • Borrowing money to gamble;
  • Feeling anxious or low due to gambling;
  • Chasing losses by increasing stakes;
  • Withdrawing from family and friends.

Helpful habits

Set limits

  • Decide on a budget — and stick to it;
  • Set a time limit for each session;
  • Avoid gambling when upset or stressed.

Stay in control

  • Only gamble with money you can afford to lose;
  • Don’t chase losses — take a break instead;
  • Take regular breaks.

Keep balance

  • Don’t let gambling interfere with responsibilities;
  • Maintain other interests and activities;
  • Spend time with family and friends.

Self‑exclusion

If you feel you’re losing control, consider self‑exclusion options offered by operators to block access for a chosen period. Provincial regulators may also provide tools and guidance.

Age and protecting minors

In Ontario, the legal gambling age is 19+. Gambling is strictly prohibited for individuals under the legal age. Operators use age‑verification and tools to prevent access by minors. Protect your devices and payment information.
