Understanding Your Relationship with Gambling
Most people who gamble do so recreationally without experiencing difficulties. However, patterns can shift over time, often subtly. Recognizing early warning signs allows you to take action before problems escalate.
Questions Worth Asking Yourself
- Do you spend more money on gambling than you originally planned?
- Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to fund your gaming sessions?
- Does gambling interfere with work responsibilities or personal relationships?
- Do you feel restless or irritable when attempting to reduce your play?
- Have you tried to win back losses by continuing to play?
- Do you hide the extent of your gambling from family or friends?
- Does gambling serve as an escape from stress, anxiety, or depression?
Answering yes to even one or two of these questions suggests it may be time to reassess your habits or seek guidance.

Self-Exclusion Programs in Canada
Beyond tools offered directly through our platform, Canadian provinces operate their own self-exclusion programs. These government-run initiatives allow individuals to ban themselves from multiple gambling venues simultaneously.
Provincial Resources
- Ontario: iGaming Ontario offers a province-wide self-exclusion registry for online gambling sites
- British Columbia: GameSense provides voluntary self-exclusion through BCLC properties
- Alberta: AGLC manages self-exclusion for land-based and online gambling
- Quebec: Loto-Québec administers self-exclusion programs across the province
Enrolling in a provincial program provides an additional layer of protection that extends beyond any single casino.

Keeping Minors Protected
Gambling platforms are strictly for adults. We verify age during registration, but parents should also use filtering software to prevent underage access to gambling websites. Programs like Net Nanny or Qustodio can block gambling-related content on shared devices.
