Responsible Gambling

Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money. You must be 19+ to gamble online in most of Canada (18+ in Manitoba and Québec). This site is not intended for residents of Ontario or Alberta.

Play safer

Set a budget and a time limit before you play, and stick to them.
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never chase losses.
Every game has a house edge, and outcomes are random. No strategy guarantees a win.
Use the deposit limits, cool-off periods and self-exclusion tools that casinos offer.
Don't gamble when you're upset, stressed or under the influence.

Warning signs

Spending more than planned, borrowing to gamble, hiding gambling from others, or feeling anxious when you're not playing can all signal a problem.
