Can I self-exclude from Toronto-area casinos and online gambling sites?

Yes. Self-exclusion lets you voluntarily bar yourself from gambling, and Ontario covers both the land-based and online sides.

Land-based venues

The OLG runs a self-exclusion program covering its casinos, including the Toronto-area venues (Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto, Pickering Casino Resort and Great Blue Heron). Once enrolled, you are removed from marketing and can be denied entry.

Online play

Casinos registered with the AGCO and iGaming Ontario are required to offer self-exclusion and other responsible-gambling tools, such as deposit, loss and time limits, that you can set on your account.

Getting set up

ConnexOntario (1-866-531-2600, free and confidential, 24/7) can walk you through the options and connect you with local support. Self-exclusion is a practical, judgment-free tool — using it is a sign of control, not failure.
