Last updated: May 2026 — Marcus Tremblay, Johnnyonepercent
At Johnnyonepercent, we believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment — never a source of stress, financial hardship, or personal harm. Marcus Tremblay founded this site with a clear principle: recommending the best new online casinos in Canada means nothing if we are not equally committed to the safety and wellbeing of every person who reads our content.
This page exists because we genuinely care. We encourage every visitor to read it carefully, whether you are a casual player or someone who suspects gambling may be affecting your life. There is no judgment here — only information, tools, and support.
Responsible gambling means staying in control. Before you play at any casino we review, ask yourself the following honestly:
If the answer to any of these questions is no, we strongly encourage you to use the tools and resources listed below before continuing to play.
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Recognising the warning signs early gives you the best chance of regaining control. Common signs include:
Answer the following questions honestly. If you answer yes to two or more, we strongly recommend reaching out to one of the support organisations listed on this page.
Every reputable online casino we feature on Johnnyonepercent offers a range of responsible gambling tools. We strongly encourage all players to use them proactively, not just reactively.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much money you can deposit into your casino account. This is one of the most effective ways to keep your spending within a budget you are comfortable with. Most casinos apply increases only after a cooling-off period, but reductions take effect immediately.
Enable on-screen reminders that appear at regular intervals during your session. These notifications tell you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent, helping you stay aware and make informed decisions about whether to continue.
If you feel your gambling is getting out of hand but you are not ready for a full exclusion, a cooling-off period — typically ranging from 24 hours to 30 days — temporarily suspends your ability to gamble. This gives you space to reflect without a permanent commitment.
Self-exclusion is a formal agreement between you and a casino that blocks your access for a set period, usually between six months and five years. Canadian players can also use BetBlocker and the national GameSense program. We recommend contacting any casino directly through its responsible gambling page to initiate self-exclusion immediately.
Johnnyonepercent operates a strict 18-and-over policy. All content on johnnyonepercent.ca is intended exclusively for adults of legal gambling age in their respective Canadian province or territory. We do not promote gambling to minors under any circumstances, and every casino we recommend is required to implement robust age verification procedures.
You do not have to face this alone. The following organisations offer free, confidential help:
Marcus Tremblay and the entire Johnnyonepercent team want every Canadian player to have a positive, safe, and informed experience with online gambling. If you ever feel that gambling is no longer fun, please use the tools and contacts on this page. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness. We are rooting for you.
