Player Protection

Responsible gambling in Ontario

Gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money. Every operator licensed by the AGCO is required to offer tools that help you stay in control.

Deposit Limits

Every AGCO-registered operator lets you set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits before you start playing.

Time-Outs

You can pause your account for a set period — from a day to several months — directly through most platforms.

Self-Exclusion

Ontario is introducing a Centralized Self-Exclusion (CSE) program, letting players exclude themselves from all participating operators through a single registration instead of contacting each one separately.

Reality Checks

Many platforms offer pop-up reminders showing how long you've been playing and how much you've spent during a session.
