Responsible Gambling
Poker is supposed to be fun. If it stops feeling that way, step away. Help is always available.
Know the Signs
- Spending more time or money on poker than you intended
- Chasing losses or playing to recover money
- Neglecting other responsibilities or relationships
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund play
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not playing
Tools Available at Every Regulated Room
All regulated Ontario poker rooms offer deposit limits, session time limits, self-exclusion, and reality checks. Use them. Setting limits before you start playing is always easier than trying to set them after a session.
