Calls, texts and chat
The Addiction Helpline, run by Recovery Alberta, takes calls at 1-866-332-2322 around the clock, every day of the week. Problem gambling is part of what it covers. Calls cost nothing and stay confidential.
211 Alberta keeps the same hours, also at no cost and in confidence. Dial 211, text INFO to 211, or open an online chat with its team. It can refer people on to gambling support.
Self-exclusion through AGLC
Enrolment in AGLC's Self-Exclusion Program is done only online, through selfexclusion.ca. The scope is up to the person: racing entertainment centres and casinos in Alberta, the province's regulated online gaming sites, or both together. As an Alberta casino, Casino Dene falls under the first option.
Terms run six months, one year, two years or three years. The exclusion starts immediately on enrolment. It cannot be cancelled early, so the chosen term runs to its end, through whatever seasons fall inside it.
GameSense on the floor
AGLC's program for responsible gambling across Alberta is called GameSense. Every Alberta casino, along with each racing entertainment centre, has GameSense Advisors and an info centre, Casino Dene included. Someone who wants to talk can find an advisor on site, whether on a long June evening or a dark December one.
A limit set at home
Every casino game carries a house edge, so over time players as a group lose more than they win. That holds for slots, VLTs and the tables alike. A spending limit decided at home, before the drive, is easier to keep than one set at the table. On a winter night, the same planning can cover the road: check conditions and settle the ride home first.
Questions by the lake
Once self-exclusion starts, can it be lifted before the term ends?
No, it cannot be cancelled early. Self-exclusion starts immediately, and the term picked at selfexclusion.ca, from six months to three years, runs in full.
Does an AGLC self-exclusion reach online gaming as well?
Yes, if the person selects it. The scope is picked at enrolment: racing entertainment centres and casinos in Alberta, the regulated online gaming sites, or both.
Inside Casino Dene, who can someone speak with about gambling?
A GameSense Advisor is the person to ask. AGLC places advisors and a GameSense info centre in each casino and racing entertainment centre in Alberta, Casino Dene included.
