Responsible Gambling Tools Every Canadian Should Know
Deposit limits, cool-off periods, and self-exclusion: how to use the tools that keep gambling fun.
By Editorial Team
Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to make money. Every licensed operator we recommend offers tools to help you stay in control.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit. This is the single most effective tool for most players.
Cool-Off Periods
Take a short break (24 hours to several weeks) during which you cannot log in.
Self-Exclusion
A longer-term block on your account. In Ontario you can also register with the province-wide self-exclusion program.
