Responsible Gaming

Promoting Safe Betting Practices

The legalization of online sports betting has generated excitement and new opportunities in both Canada and the United States. However, it also underscores the critical need for responsible gaming initiatives. While many individuals can enjoy betting without issues, a significant minority may develop gaming-related problems. This page outlines essential aspects of responsible gaming and available resources for those who may need support in both countries.

Principles of Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming promotes betting as an entertainment activity rather than a means of financial gain. Key principles include:

Gaming Controls and Self-Regulation

Many sportsbooks and online gaming platforms in both Canada and the U.S. offer tools to help users manage their betting habits.

Self-Exclusion Programs

Self-exclusion programs allow individuals to voluntarily ban themselves from gaming for set periods, typically ranging from six months to several years. These state or province-run programs let participants exclude themselves from specific venues or operators. When combined with counseling, self-exclusion effectively promotes responsible gaming and reduces gaming-related harm. Information is usually available on provincial or state government websites.
