Play responsibly
Gambling should be practiced sensibly. You must maintain control over your gambling. Gambling is a hobby and is never a reliable way to make money. Only gamble with amounts of money you can afford to lose. Never spend money you need on important things like food, rent, bills, or education. Never seek to recoup your losses. If you lose money, do not play at higher stakes in an attempt to recoup your losses. If you need help, take advantage of the monthly deposit limits offered by legal gambling sites in Ontario to manage your spending yourself.
To find out if you have an addiction problem, ask yourself the following questions:
1. Do you regularly miss work or school to gamble?
2. Do you gamble for money instead of paying off debts or solving financial problems?
3. Do you feel the need to gamble again as soon as possible after a loss?
4. Do you often gamble until you have your last penny?
5. Have you ever borrowed, stolen, or lied to finance your gaming?
6. Have you ever sold anything to finance your gaming?
7. Do you ever lose interest in your family or loved ones?
8. Do you ever gamble to avoid conflict, frustration, or disappointment?
If you answered yes to several of these questions, you may have a problem with gambling addiction. If so, feel free to contact the organization below.
