Responsible Gambling

Signs of problem gambling

• Increasing preoccupation with gambling, planning every free moment around it
• Chasing losses by betting larger amounts or more frequently
• Borrowing money, using credit cards, or selling possessions to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Lying to family or friends about gambling activities or amounts spent
• Neglecting work, school, or personal responsibilities because of gambling

Self-exclusion tools and limits

Licensed Canadian online casinos let players activate self‑exclusion or short‑term cool‑off periods ranging from 24 hours to 6 months directly in their account dashboard. Players can also set daily, weekly or monthly deposit caps, loss limits and session‑time restrictions at no cost, with all requests processed confidentially. Adjustments or reactivations are possible anytime through the same settings panel.
