Play safely
Responsible gambling in Canada
Roulette has a fixed house edge, which means it is entertainment with a price. These resources are for anyone for whom the price has stopped being fun.

Practical limits that work
- Decide what a session may cost before it starts, using the bankroll calculator. Treat that figure as the ticket price.
- Never chase. A betting system that "recovers" losses is a way to lose more, faster — the strategy simulator shows why.
- Use deposit limits, loss limits and time-outs in the casino's settings. Every brand we list has them.
- Self-exclusion: iGaming Ontario operators share a central self-exclusion program; provincial sites such as PlayNow, PlayOLG and Loto-Québec online offer their own; offshore crypto casinos offer account closure on request.
Warning signs
Gambling with money set aside for rent or bills; borrowing to gamble; hiding play from family; feeling restless or irritable when not gambling; returning to win back losses. If two of these sound familiar, please call the line for your province.
Our own commitments
We will not target advertising at people under 19, we will not present gambling as a way to earn income, we label every demo as play money, and we remove any brand that ignores self-exclusion requests.
