Responsible gambling
Gambling should be entertainment with a price tag, not a way to make money or solve money problems.
Decide your budget first
Before you log in, pick an amount you can afford to lose this month, like a night out. When it's gone, stop until next month. Anything you win is a bonus, not income.
Tools at LuckyHills
- Deposit limits: daily, weekly or monthly.
- Loss limits: cap how much you can lose in a period.
- Session limits: get logged out after a set time.
- Self-exclusion: close your account for a period from account settings.
Provincial self-exclusion programs don't cover offshore casinos like LuckyHills. If you've excluded yourself from a provincial site, please don't use an offshore one to get around it.
Warning signs
- Chasing losses or betting more to win back what you lost.
- Playing longer or with more money than you planned.
- Hiding your gambling from people close to you.
- Borrowing money or skipping bills to keep playing.
- Feeling restless or irritable when you can't play.
Free, confidential help
Every province and territory has a free problem gambling helpline; search for your province's gambling support line or ask your doctor. Gambling Therapy offers free online support in several languages, and the Responsible Gambling Council has practical guides for players and families.
Blocking software for your phone and computer can stop access to gambling sites. Some banks also let you block gambling transactions on your card.
