Safer Play

Age Restriction

You must meet the minimum legal gambling age in your province, generally 18 or 19 depending on where you live in Canada, before you register with or play at any operator linked from this site.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Common signs include spending more time or money on gambling than you planned, chasing losses with further bets, borrowing money to gamble, hiding your gambling activity from family or friends, and feeling anxious, irritable or preoccupied when you are not gambling. Noticing one or more of these signs in yourself or someone you know is a reason to use the tools and support below.

Deposit Limits

Most licensed operators let you set a daily, weekly or monthly deposit limit from your account settings. A limit set before you start playing is harder to talk yourself out of in the moment than a decision made mid-session.

Time-Outs and Self-Exclusion

A time-out temporarily locks your account for a set period, typically from a day to several weeks. Self-exclusion is a longer-term or permanent option that blocks account access, sometimes across multiple operators through a national or provincial self-exclusion program. Ask the operator's support team how to activate either option.

Reality Checks

A reality check is a pop-up reminder that shows how long you have been playing and, on many platforms, your net win or loss for the session. Turning this feature on can help keep a session from running longer than you intended.
