These mandatory safeguards include:
- Deposit caps you can establish for a 24-hour period, a week, or a month.
- Activity notifications that pop up to tell you how long you’ve been playing.
- Self-exclusion options for a temporary hiatus or a lengthier period away.
- Connections to professional help groups like Gambling Therapy and the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction.
- Settings to define limits on losses or wagers for extra control.
- Full activity statements so you can examine your own spending and play history.
Staff get training to spot signs of problem gambling and can act to provide help. Because the license demands this approach, player well-being is embedded in the business from the ground up. It cannot be an afterthought.
