Gambling Guidelines

Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA) is dedicated to enhancing public health by promoting responsible gambling practices through its innovative Lower-Risk Gambling Guidelines (LRGGs). The CCSA provides valuable resources aimed at reducing the risks associated with gambling activities. Their offerings include comprehensive guidelines that help individuals understand the limits around "how much," "how often," and "how many" bets are considered safe.

To aid in personal risk assessment, CCSA features an interactive risk assessment tool, enabling users to evaluate their gambling habits against the LRGGs. Additionally, the organization shares a range of educational materials, including reports and posters, which outline gambling harms, identify vulnerable populations, and offer safer gambling tips. Through engaging social media campaigns and informative webinars, the CCSA fosters awareness and dialogue around gambling safety, ensuring that individuals can enjoy their gaming experiences while minimizing potential risks. The center's commitment to evidence-based strategies positions it as a leader in promoting safer gambling practices across Canada.
