What is Responsible Gambling?
Responsible gambling means participating in gambling activities with less risk of experiencing harm or causing harm to others.
iGaming Ontario’s approach to responsible gambling is centered around empowering players to make informed choices about their play. Informed choice is about using the knowledge, information, and tools you have to make safer decisions about gambling.

The Importance of Responsible Gambling
iGaming Ontario Operators help protect players from gambling harms by empowering them with information and tools to play safer. Responsible gambling can prevent or reduce harm.
Responsible gambling can also help you enjoy your playing experience more. Imagine spending more than you planned to because you didn’t know how to make a wager. Not very much fun, right? But if you learn how the games work, understand the odds of winning and have realistic expectations about winning, you might find that you’ll have a better time.
