19+ only
Responsible gambling
Gambling should stay entertainment. Age restrictions apply and the minimum age is 19+ in most of Canada — check the rules where you live. Never bet money you need for essentials, and never chase losses.
Warning signs
- Betting more, or for longer, than you planned
- Borrowing money or hiding play from people close to you
- Playing to recover losses or to escape stress
- Feeling anxious, irritable or low when you cannot play
Tools that help
Most operators offer deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, cool-off periods and self-exclusion. Set these before you play, not after a bad session. Blocking software can stop access across all your devices.
