Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

Sports betting should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only wager what you can afford to lose, and never view betting as an investment or income source.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age in your province) to participate in sports betting in Canada. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

If you are under the legal age, please do not use our services or affiliated betting platforms.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following behaviors in yourself, you may have a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what you've lost
• Hiding gambling activities or betting amounts from family and friends
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Experiencing mood swings related to wins and losses
• Neglecting work, school, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
• Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Jeopardizing relationships, education, or career opportunities

If any of these apply to you, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most licensed Canadian sportsbooks offer the following responsible gaming tools:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you're willing to lose during a set period
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from betting platforms
• Account Cooling-Off: Pause your account for a set period before you can access it again

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain control over your gambling habits.
