Tools inside every casino we list
All nine brands offer deposit limits, cool-off periods (24 hours to 30 days) and self-exclusion (6 months or longer, irreversible for the term) under account settings. Most also offer loss limits, wager limits, session reminders and a Vault that locks funds behind a time delay. Limit decreases apply immediately; increases take 24 hours to 7 days.
Set a deposit limit in Canadian-dollar terms before you play, and consider a stablecoin so the limit means the same thing every week.
Blocking software
- Gamban and BetBlocker block gambling sites across all your devices, including crypto casinos.
- Most banks let you block gambling merchant codes on cards; exchanges cannot block destination addresses, so device-level blocking is the effective tool for crypto.
Warning signs
Chasing losses; depositing more often than planned; playing to change your mood; hiding time or money spent; borrowing to play; neglecting work, study or relationships. Any one of these is a reason to use a cool-off. Several are a reason to self-exclude and to call a helpline.

Age
You must be 19 or older to gamble in most provinces, 18 in Alberta, Manitoba and Québec. Every casino we list verifies age at KYC; registering underage voids the account.
Our commitment
We publish the expected cost of every bonus. We do not use urgency tactics, countdown timers or "last chance" language. We link to this page from every bonus page.
