Gambling should be entertainment you pay for, like a concert ticket. These tools help keep it that way.

Limits you can set
At your bank. Lower your daily Interac e-Transfer send limit to what you are willing to spend in a day. A deposit above it stops in your bank app.
At the casino. Most casinos offer deposit, loss, wager and session limits. Hellspin sets them through 24/7 live support; Slotsgem's account settings include deposit, loss, wager, single-bet, session and balance limits, plus time-outs. Limit increases usually take effect only after a waiting period; decreases apply at once.
Self-exclusion. Every casino on our list offers it, through account settings or support. Ask for the period you need and ask whether it covers sister brands; the Terdersoft casinos and the Latcas casinos are each one group.
Warning signs
- You deposit again to win back losses.
- You raise your bank's send limit to keep playing.
- You play with money meant for bills.
- You hide your play from people close to you.
- Gambling stops being fun and you keep going.
If any of these sound familiar, stop and talk to someone.
