Keep play in perspective
Gambling should be treated as paid entertainment, not as a way to earn income or recover financial losses. Outcomes are random and a losing result is always possible.
Only gamble with money and time you can afford to spend. Set limits before play begins and stop when a limit is reached.
Warning signs to recognise
Warning signs can include chasing losses, borrowing to gamble, hiding gambling activity, neglecting work or relationships, feeling unable to stop, or using gambling to escape stress.
Practical control tools
Use deposit, spending or time limits where available. Take regular breaks, avoid gambling while impaired or distressed, and do not use credit intended for essential expenses.
Self-exclusion and venue support programmes can provide a stronger barrier when personal limits are not enough.
Ontario support resources
Visitors seeking immediate, confidential support should use official Ontario responsible-gambling and problem-gambling services. For urgent risk of harm, contact local emergency services.
This independent website does not provide counselling or manage self-exclusion requests. Those requests must be made through the relevant official operator or support programme.
Protecting minors
Casino gaming is age-restricted. Adults should keep gambling accounts, devices, payment methods and identification secure and should not facilitate gambling by minors.
Our content approach
We avoid presenting gambling as risk-free, guaranteed or a solution to financial problems. Promotional links do not change the need to make an independent, affordable decision about whether to gamble.
