House rules
Playing Betty with limits, and where to call when it stops being fun
Checked
On this page
Every slot is built with a margin for the house, so the longer you play, the more of your stake the casino keeps. Bring only money you have already written off, and fix your limits while you are calm, not halfway through a losing streak.
Who may play
You must be 19 to play on betty.ca in Ontario, 18 on the Alberta site, and 18 on betty.com, which serves the other provinces and the territories. Provincial gambling ages are 18 in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec and 19 everywhere else, so in BC, Saskatchewan or the Atlantic provinces we would wait for your 19th birthday even though betty.com takes sign-ups at 18. Betty must check your age, and the AGCO fined it in 2026 when that check failed. Never let a minor use your account or device.
Tools on your Betty account
On betty.com, under Account and then Responsible Gaming:
- deposit limits per day, per week (Sunday to Saturday) or per calendar month;
- a timeout from one day up to three months;
- self-exclusion for six months, nine months, one, two, four or five years.
On betty.ca, the account offers breaks, deposit limits and time limits. Set a deposit limit on the day you register. On most regulated sites a lower limit applies at once, while a higher one only kicks in after a cooling-off period, which is exactly the point.
Warning signs
- Topping up after a loss to win it back.
- Sessions that run past the time or budget you set.
- Keeping play secret from people close to you, or borrowing to fund it.
- Irritation or restlessness when you try to stop.
Spotting even a single one is reason enough to step away for a while.
