Combine technical measures with human support — realistic expectations about what each layer does.

Legal online gambling in Canada is offered through provincial regulators and their authorized partners. Always use official account settings.
Useful layers
- Self-exclusion or limits on the regulated product.
- Deleting apps; not saving gambling site passwords in the browser.
- Bank blocks on gambling-related payments.
- Filters or DNS on shared devices, when that makes sense.
These work best alongside human support — provincial navigation, family doctor, regulated therapy, or peer groups, depending on your situation.
