Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Sports betting should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It's important to approach betting with realistic expectations and to only wager money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age in your province) to participate in sports betting. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and reserve the right to verify your age at any time.
If you are under the legal age to gamble, please do not use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Using gambling to escape negative emotions or stress
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Unable to cut back or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in your behaviour, please reach out for support.
