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. There is always a risk of losing money when you gamble. Only bet what you can afford to lose, and never gamble with money needed for essential expenses like rent, food, or utilities.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age for gambling in your province) to participate in sports betting in Canada. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all users. If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to register or place bets.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or loved ones
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Failed attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling
- Lying about the extent of your gambling activities
- Jeopardizing relationships, employment, or educational opportunities because of gambling
