Responsible gambling: Canada

Keep the decision recreational

Choose a budget you can afford to lose before starting. Set time and spending limits, take breaks and do not chase losses. Gambling is not a way to repay debt or secure an income. If these boundaries are difficult to keep, consider stopping and asking for support.

Local help

ConnexOntario: Ontario support and referral services. Your province may have its own services and exclusion arrangements.

Gambling Therapy provides international online support. Resources are external services and do not imply that Casino Masters is certified by or affiliated with them.

Self-exclusion has a geographic scope

Use the operator’s own time-out and exclusion tools, and check any scheme available in your jurisdiction. GAMSTOP concerns participating online gambling businesses licensed in Great Britain; it is not described here as a universal block for Canada. GamCare and GambleAware are Great Britain resources, not local licensing authorities.

When to reach out

If gambling is affecting money, relationships, sleep or work, contact a support service. You do not need to wait until a problem becomes severe. We cannot manage exclusions or access an operator account on your behalf.
