Warning Signs
Gambling becomes a problem when it stops being fun. Watch for:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you can afford
- Chasing losses (betting more to win back what you lost)
- Lying to family or friends about gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble
- Neglecting work, school, or relationships to gamble
- Feeling anxious, depressed, or suicidal after gambling
Self-Exclusion
Ontario offers My PlayBreak, a province-wide self-exclusion program. You can voluntarily exclude yourself from all AGCO-licensed gambling sites and physical casinos for a chosen period (30 days to indefinitely). Visit myplaybreak.ca to enroll.
