Responsible Gaming

Entertainment, Not Income

Online betting should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always set realistic expectations about the odds.

Age Verification

Online betting in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). If you are under the legal age, please do not participate in online gambling. We take age verification seriously and comply with all applicable provincial regulations.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a problem with gambling:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding or lying about gambling activities and spending
• Difficulty controlling the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
• Neglecting family, work, or other important responsibilities
• Experiencing anxiety, depression, or irritability related to gambling
• Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts for the same excitement
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable online betting operators offer built-in tools to help you gamble responsibly:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a cap on how much you are willing to lose over a set period
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you have been gambling and how much you have spent
• Time-Out: Take a voluntary break from gambling for a set period (hours, days, or weeks)
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing betting platforms

We strongly encourage you to use these tools to maintain control over your gambling activities.
