Safer Play

Online gambling in Ontario is restricted to players aged 19 and over. This page covers the tools available to keep play under control and where to find help.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Common signs include spending more time or money than planned, chasing losses, borrowing to fund play, and gambling affecting work, relationships or sleep. Noticing any of these early makes them easier to address.

Tools Available at Licensed Operators

Deposit limits cap how much you can add to your account over a day, week or month. Time-outs lock your account for a set period. Self-exclusion blocks account access for a longer period, often a year or more, and iGO-licensed operators must honour it. Reality checks pop up during play to show how long you have been at it.

Getting Help

Ontario players can reach ConnexOntario at 1-866-531-2600, a free, confidential service available 24 hours a day for gambling, mental health and addiction support.

Before You Play

Set a budget before you start, treat losses as the cost of entertainment, and never gamble to solve a financial problem. This page does not sell any operator's offers: it exists to help you play within your limits.
