Responsible Gambling at MyHoursPlay

At MyHoursPlay, we are committed to ensuring that your online gaming experience remains a safe and enjoyable form of entertainment. This guide is designed for Canadian players to help identify potential risks and provide direct access to professional support resources and safety tools across the country.

Recognizing Signs of Problem Gambling

  • Spending more than you can afford
  • Neglecting work, school or family responsibilities
  • Gambling to escape stress or emotional problems
  • Chasing losses after a losing session
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling

Self-Exclusion Tools and Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly or monthly deposit caps directly on licensed Canadian casino sites to keep spending in check, and enable session‑time alerts that pop up after a preset number of minutes to signal a needed break. Each province-Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec and Saskatchewan-offers a self‑exclusion registry that can be linked to your MyHoursPlay account, instantly blocking access to all affiliated operators for a chosen period.
