Responsible Gambling
Slots are entertainment, not a way to make money. A high RTP means you lose slower on average, not that you win. This page collects the tools and help available to Canadian players who want to keep gambling under control.
Warning signs
- Spending more than you planned, or chasing losses to win them back
- Borrowing money or neglecting bills to gamble
- Gambling to escape stress rather than for fun
- Hiding how much time or money you spend
Tools that help
- Deposit limits. Every licensed casino lets you cap what you can deposit per day, week or month. Set one before you play.
- Loss and session limits. Set a ceiling on losses and a timer on sessions.
- Cooling-off and self-exclusion. Pause your account for a set period, or self-exclude entirely.
- Reality checks. Enable pop-up reminders of how long you have been playing.
