Responsible Gambling in Canada

By · iGaming Content Specialist

Updated · Facts checked against Pragmatic Play

Gambling should stay entertainment. Licensed Canadian casinos must offer deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion; free, confidential help is available in every province, 24/7 in most.

Tools at licensed casinos

  • Deposit and loss limits — daily, weekly or monthly.
  • Session reminders and time-outs.
  • Self-exclusion — in Ontario you can also opt out of all regulated online gambling via iGaming Ontario's tool.

Warning signs

  • Spending more than you planned, or chasing losses.
  • Borrowing money or hiding play from family.
  • Feeling anxious or irritable when not playing.
