Game plan

Set a money limit and a time limit before you go in. You get a card to keep on your phone or print, with the helpline for your province, and a timer that reminds you when time is up. Nothing you enter leaves this page.

Write your limits on the card and print it. With JavaScript on, this page fills the card in for you and can remind you when time is up.

What a game costs per hour on average, over many hours of play: Price of an hour.

1% of your income, a month

The 1% comes from Canada’s Lower-Risk Gambling Guidelines. The sum below is our own arithmetic on the income you enter. It is not stored or sent anywhere.

Take household income before tax for a month, or a year divided by 12, and one hundredth of it.
