Warning signs

• Chasing losses with bigger bets
• Lying to family or friends about gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble

• Feeling restless or irritable when not gambling

Self-help tools

• Set deposit limits before you play — every licensed casino offers this
• Take a cool-off (24-hour to 30-day temporary block)
• Self-exclude permanently — iGaming Ontario maintains a province-wide register; each provincial monopoly maintains its own
• Block gambling sites from your devices (Gamban, BetBlocker)

Legal age

19+ in most provinces; 18+ in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec.
