1-800-461-1234Online slots and casino games are designed to be fun. When played responsibly with money you can afford to lose, they're a form of entertainment like going to a movie or sporting event. But gambling can become problematic when it starts affecting your finances, relationships, or mental health.
At SlotCanuck, we believe informed players make better decisions. That's why we never promise winnings or suggest gambling is a way to make money. The house always has an edge, and most players lose over time. Understanding this reality is the first step to playing responsibly.
Set a Budget: Only gamble with money you can afford to lose completely. Never use rent, bills, or savings money.
Set Time Limits: Decide how long you'll play before you start. Use casino session timers if available.
Never Chase Losses: If you lose your budget, stop. Trying to win it back almost always leads to bigger losses.
Don't Gamble Impaired: Avoid gambling when drinking, using substances, or feeling emotional.
Use Deposit Limits: Most casinos let you set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Use them.
Keep It Fun: If gambling stops being enjoyable, that's a sign to stop playing.
If you recognize these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available. Reach out to the resources below.
