Responsible Gambling

Gambling can be an enjoyable form of entertainment, but it is not a way to make money and it carries risk. Casinofinder.ca is committed to promoting safer gambling for Canadian readers. This page explains how to stay in control and where to find help.

Set limits before you play

• Decide how much time and money you can afford to spend.
• Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
• Never chase losses or borrow money to gamble.
• Take regular breaks and keep gambling in balance with other activities.

Use safer gambling tools

Regulated operators in Canada typically offer tools to help you stay in control, including deposit limits, time reminders, reality checks and self-exclusion options. These tools are there to be used.

Recognise the warning signs

• Spending more time or money than you intended.
• Gambling to escape stress or low mood.
• Hiding your gambling from friends or family.
• Feeling anxious or irritable when you try to cut back.

Where to find help in Canada

Support is available across Canada. Free, confidential provincial services can help, including ConnexOntario in Ontario and provincial health and addiction services elsewhere. Many communities can also be reached through the 211 information line. If you or someone you know needs help, please reach out to a provincial support service.

You must be of legal gambling age in your province to gamble (19+ in most provinces, 18+ in some).
