At Calpo, we believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment, never a source of stress, financial hardship, or personal harm. Marcus Tremblay and the entire Calpo team are deeply committed to promoting safe, responsible gambling practices for every player in Canada. This page exists because we genuinely care about your wellbeing, not just as a visitor to calpo.ca, but as a person.
If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, please know that help is available, support is close by, and reaching out is a sign of strength.
Responsible gambling means staying in control of how much time and money you spend. Before you play at any online casino, consider setting personal boundaries. Ask yourself why you are gambling. If your honest answer is entertainment, socializing, or occasional excitement, that is a healthy starting point. If you find yourself gambling to escape problems, recover losses, or cope with difficult emotions, it may be time to pause and seek support.
Healthy gambling habits include:
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to identify in yourself. Being honest and self-aware is the first step toward getting help. The following signs may indicate that gambling has become a problem:
Answer these questions honestly to evaluate your relationship with gambling:
If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to speak with a professional. You are not alone, and effective support is available right now.
Responsible online casinos allow you to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your account. Setting these limits before you start playing is one of the most effective ways to manage your spending. Always choose a limit that reflects what you can genuinely afford to lose.
Many licensed casinos offer session reminders that notify you how long you have been playing. Enable these alerts to stay aware of time spent at the tables or slots. A simple reminder can make a meaningful difference.
If you feel your gambling is getting out of hand but you are not ready for a full self-exclusion, a cooling-off period lets you temporarily pause your account for a set number of days or weeks. Use this time to reflect and seek support if needed.
Self-exclusion is a voluntary program that prevents you from accessing gambling sites for a defined period, or permanently. Canadian players can register with BetBlocker and provincial self-exclusion programs such as GameSense, offered through the British Columbia Lottery Corporation, and similar tools available through provincial gaming authorities across Canada.
