Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to make money or escape problems. If it stops being fun, it is time to stop.
In Canada, free confidential help is available 24/7 through ConnexOntario at 1-866-531-2600, or your provincial problem-gambling helpline. Most provinces also offer self-exclusion programs.
Most of the casinos we cover offer deposit limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion tools — use them. Set a budget before you play and treat it as the price of entertainment.
