At betguard.ca, iGaming Ontario runs BetGuard, which shuts a person out of each online gambling site regulated in Ontario, including OLG.ca. Block lengths are 5 years, 1 year, 6 months or one you set yourself; land-based casinos are not affected.
PlaySmart, at playsmart.ca, is OLG's responsible gambling site. The resort follows OLG's PlaySmart program.

A limit

Keep the weekend a weekend

Before you leave home, settle three things: whether any of the weekend budget goes to play, how much, and when you stop. A note on your phone works fine. Deciding at the kitchen table is easier than deciding on the floor at the end of a long Saturday.

This guide never suggests an amount. That number is yours to pick, and zero counts as a plan too.

The crew and how the guide is made

Illustrations drawn after photos of the resort

This guide is signed by the Cottage Seasons crew, a group name, and nobody signs a page personally. The pictures are generated flat illustrations, not photographs. The hotel, entrance, pool, theatre, gaming floor and noodle dishes are drawn after real photos posted by guests. The entrance canopy follows a freely licensed panorama by Mykola Swarnyk, credited under it and listed in Image sources below. The road through the hills on the Sunday page is invented.

The facts were checked on October 9, 2026, against the resort's pages, Gateway Casinos and Ontario government and agency pages. Archived copies from 2024 to 2026 stood in where live pages would not open. Distances are straight lines from the resort's map point, rounded to one decimal place, and roads run longer. Seasons follow calendar months.

Advertising waits on the opening page and nowhere else, every paid button and block tagged Ad. The planners save nothing you enter, only your light or dark theme for that tab.

Image sources

One illustration is drawn from a freely licensed photograph, listed here. The others follow guests' photos of the resort and are not listed.
