Responsible Gambling

• Feeling restless, anxious, or irritable when unable to gamble
• Increasing amounts of money spent on bets despite mounting debts
• Borrowing money, using credit cards, or selling possessions to fund gambling
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities for gambling activities
• Lying about gambling habits or hiding receipts and online accounts
• Chasing losses by gambling more aggressively after a losing streak
• Spending excessive time planning, placing, or thinking about bets
• Experiencing mood swings that correlate with wins or losses
• Avoiding social events or isolating oneself to gamble online
• Continuously promising to quit but repeatedly returning to gambling

Canadian players can set daily deposit caps as low as $50, schedule weekly play‑time limits, and activate reality‑check pop‑ups that appear every 30 minutes. Most regulated operators also offer a self‑exclusion option that blocks access for periods ranging from six months to permanent, and the process is completed through account settings or a dedicated gambling‑harm hotline.

• Avoid betting when feeling stressed, depressed, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs
