TiPs TO avOid GaMbLiNG PrObLeMs
OLG wants to promote a balanced approach to gaming. This is why we encourage all our patrons to remember these important tips:Set a limit you can afford, and stick to it, each time you gamble.
Consider the money you spend gambling as the cost of your entertainment.
Do not withdraw more than your original gambling limit from your bank and credit cards.
Do not borrow money from family, friends or acquaintances to play at gaming facilities. Take frequent breaks.
Seek counselling assistance as soon as you start losing more than you intended or can afford.
In Ontario, the average gambler spends about 1% of the family’s after tax income.* • Spending less reduces your risk of problems • Spending more increases your risk of problems

OLG Casinos, Slots and Resort Casinos offer a self-exclusion program for people who want to take a break from gambling. Everyone who enters the program signs a self-exclusion form and agrees not to return to a gaming site in Ontario. Self-exclusion can be a positive step in the recovery process, and for many people it works best when accompanied by treatment or counselling.
Patrons can sign up to self-exclude in person at any Ontario gaming facility. For information about this program, contact Security at your local gaming facility.
