Safer Gambling

Operators ranked here are intended for adults 21 and over, located where offshore online casino play is not otherwise restricted.

Signs to Watch For

• Spending more time or money on casino games than planned
• Chasing losses with bigger bets
• Borrowing money or using funds meant for bills to play
• Feeling anxious, irritable or preoccupied when not playing
• Hiding play from family or friends

Tools You Can Use

These tools are typically available in an operator’s account settings.

• Deposit limits: cap how much you can add to your account in a day, week or month.
• Time-outs: lock yourself out of an account for a short cooling-off period.
• Self-exclusion: block your own access to an operator for a longer period, typically six months or more.
• Reality checks: a pop-up reminder of how long you have been playing in a session.
