SAFER PLAY

Set the stop point first.

Casino games involve a real risk of loss. Gambling should be treated as paid entertainment, never as a way to earn money or recover financial losses.

Before a session

  • Set a maximum loss and a time limit before play begins.
  • Use money that is already budgeted for entertainment.
  • Never gamble with borrowed money.
  • Do not increase the limit because of wins or losses.

Know when to pause

Stop when gambling feels urgent, secretive or difficult to control. Use deposit limits, time-outs or self-exclusion tools when needed. Support resources and exclusion systems differ by province, so use the official resources for your location.

The maths does not change

Strategies can reduce avoidable mistakes in some games, but no betting progression removes the house edge or guarantees a win. Short-term results can differ sharply from long-run probabilities.
