Your control tools
Under the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) Registrar's Standards for Internet Gaming, every account includes:
- Deposit limits — cap how much you can deposit per day, week or month.
- Loss limits — cap your net losses over a chosen period.
- Time limits & session reminders — set how long you play and get reality-check reminders.
- Cooling-off / take a break — pause your account for a short period.
- Self-exclusion — exclude yourself for longer periods.
You can set limits when you register and change them any time. Requests that tighten a limit take effect immediately; requests that loosen or remove a limit take effect only after a 24-hour cooling-off period.
Self-exclusion
If you want to stop gambling for a while, you can self-exclude. Ontario operates BetGuard through iGaming Ontario (iGO). Registering once can block your access across participating online gaming operators in Ontario at the same time.
Minimum self-exclusion period: 6 months. Self-exclusion periods are available for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, or permanently. During an active exclusion you cannot shorten or cancel it — you must wait until the period expires before requesting reinstatement.
Register for self-exclusion: https://www.betguard.ca/. You can also contact our support team to set an account-level exclusion on iRevegas directly.
Self-assessment
Not sure whether your gambling is still healthy? Ask yourself the following questions. The more you answer "yes", the greater the chance gambling is becoming a problem — and the more reason to set limits, take a break, or reach out for free, confidential support.
- Do you gamble longer than you intended?
- Do you spend more money than you can afford to lose?
- Do you chase losses, trying to win back money you've lost?
- Do you borrow money, sell things, or use money meant for bills in order to gamble?
- Do you gamble to escape stress, anxiety, boredom or low mood?
- Do you lie about, or hide, how much you gamble?
- Have family, friends or others expressed concern about your gambling?
- Do you find it hard to stop, even when you want to?
If any of these sound familiar, consider setting a limit or self-excluding, and contact ConnexOntario or another support service listed below. Help is free and confidential.
Signs gambling may be a problem

Family & friends support
Gambling problems may affect family members and friends, not only the person who gambles. Support services are available for affected individuals — whether you are worried about your own gambling or someone else's.
- ConnexOntario — free, confidential help for anyone affected by gambling in Ontario, including family and friends.
- Gam-Anon — peer support for partners, family and friends of people who gamble.
- Responsible Gambling Council — information and resources for those affected by someone else's gambling.
Financial management tips
Keeping gambling affordable starts with how you manage money. A few simple habits can help you stay in control:
- Set budgets — decide in advance how much you can afford to lose, and use deposit and loss limits to enforce it.
- Never gamble with borrowed money — don't use loans, credit, or money meant for bills, rent or essentials.
- Do not treat gambling as income — gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money or pay off debt; expect to lose what you wager.
Protecting minors
You must be 19+ to play. We verify age at registration and through KYC checks. If you share a device with anyone under 19, consider parental-control software to keep gambling content away from minors.
