Responsible Gambling in Ontario (2026) — Tools, Limits, Help

All AGCO-regulated Ontario casinos must provide responsible gambling tools: deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion. ConnexOntario helpline: 1-866-531-2600.

Casinos

Ontario's regulated gambling framework requires all licensed casinos to provide responsible gambling tools. These are not optional — they are mandatory under AGCO regulations.

Every Ontario casino must offer deposit limits, session time reminders, and self-exclusion options. Players set these during registration and can adjust them anytime.

Available Tools

Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly maximum deposits. Decreases take effect immediately; increases have a cooling-off period.

Loss limits: Cap your net losses over a set period.

Session time limits: Get alerts after a set playing time.

Reality checks: Pop-up reminders showing time played and money spent.

Cooling-off period: Temporarily suspend your account (24 hours to 6 months).

Self-exclusion: Block yourself from all Ontario gambling sites for 6 months to 5 years via iGaming Ontario.
