Breaks from Play
My PlayBreak is a voluntary tool that makes it easier to take a break from gambling.
The decision to take a break is an important one. As part of OLG’s efforts to support those who register, you will not be permitted to log in to any OLG Internet Gaming websites, and you will not receive any promotional or marketing communications while you are on a break.
My PlayBreak might be right for you if:
- Gambling has stopped being as enjoyable
- Your finances, health or relationships are being affected
- You feel like you could use more control
You’re ready for a change
