Responsible Gambling

Our Commitment

ManonCyr.ca is committed to promoting responsible gambling. We believe gambling should be an entertaining activity enjoyed within safe limits. We only recommend licensed operators with robust responsible gambling tools, and we provide resources for anyone who needs support.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling affects a small but significant percentage of players. Recognise the warning signs: spending more than you can afford to lose; borrowing money to gamble; feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling; neglecting responsibilities to gamble; gambling to escape stress or problems; lying to family or friends about gambling activity; chasing losses; feeling unable to stop.

Responsible Gambling Tools

All licenced casinos on our recommended list offer responsible gambling tools. Use them proactively:
Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps to control spending.
Loss Limits: Set maximum loss amounts per session or period.
Session Time Limits: Receive alerts when you've been playing for a set duration.
Reality Checks: Periodic reminders of time spent and net session result.
Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a casino.
Cooling-Off Period: Take a short break of hours or days without full exclusion.

Self-Exclusion Programmes

Canada's GamStop equivalent for provincial markets is available through provincial gaming regulators. Self-exclusion from one platform can also be registered with GAMSTOP (UK), BetBlocker (global), or Gamban to block gambling sites across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously.

Protecting Minors

Gambling is not for minors. Use parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites. Services like Gamban, Net Nanny, and CyberPatrol can block gambling content on household devices. If you suspect a minor is accessing gambling sites, contact your internet service provider for filtering options.
