Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money. Every reputable online casino offers free tools to help you stay in control. Here are the ones you should enable before depositing a single dollar.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps. Once reached, you cannot deposit again until the period resets. This is your strongest defense against impulsive play.
Similar to deposit limits but tracks net losses. If you hit your loss cap, the site blocks further play until the limit window resets.
Limit how much you can wager per session, per day, or per week. Great for controlling session length.
Automatic log-out after a set time period. Prevents those 4am "just one more spin" sessions.
Pop-up notifications showing how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered. Eye-opening for most players.
Full account lock for 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanent. Available from the casino directly and through provincial programs like PlaySmart.
Short-term exclusion (24 hours to 7 days) when you feel you're getting too caught up. Easy to activate and reverse.
Prevent your credit/debit card from being used for gambling. Offered by many Canadian banks including RBC and TD.
Ontario: ConnexOntario (1-866-531-2600). Quebec: Anse Jeunesse. BC: BC Problem Gambling. Every province has free, confidential support.
