Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Sports betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Only bet what you can afford to lose, and never gamble with money needed for essentials like rent, food, or utilities.
Age Verification
Sports betting in Canada is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirements in your jurisdiction before participating in any betting activities. We take underage gambling seriously and prohibit all users under the legal age from using our platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by betting more
- Hiding Gambling: Concealing betting activity from family, friends, or partners
- Loss of Control: Being unable to stop or reduce the amount you gamble
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, family obligations, or personal care due to gambling
- Increasing Stakes: Needing to bet larger amounts to get the same level of excitement
- Borrowing Money: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling activities
- Emotional Changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Relationship Problems: Conflicts with loved ones about your gambling habits
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
