Bank gambling blocks · Canada
Block gambling on your
RBC card.
RBC doesn't have a gambling block you can switch on yet. Here's how to protect that card anyway.
If it's pulling hard right now: ConnexOntario, 1-866-531-2600 (Ontario, 24/7; other provinces have their own lines).
No self-serve block yet
We couldn't find a gambling block you can switch on yourself at RBC, on its debit or credit cards.
What you can do today:
- Call RBC and ask them to block gambling transactions on your cards. Some banks will do it on request even without a switch in the app.
- Ask them to lower your credit limit and your cash-advance limit, so there's less to lose in one night.
- Self-exclude in Canada, so the sites refuse you whichever card you use.
Where it can miss

Belt and braces
A bank block stops this card. It doesn't stop a second card, a wallet, the sites or the apps. Add self-exclusion in Canada and a blocker on the phone.
