Gambling Should Be Entertainment

Sports betting should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While betting can be fun and exciting, it's important to remember that the odds always favor the sportsbook. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your province) to participate in sports betting. We take age verification seriously and comply with all provincial regulations. By using our affiliate partners' services, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.

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 previous losses
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or loved ones
• Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
• Neglecting work, school, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
• Lying about the extent of gambling activities
• Using gambling as a way to escape problems or negative emotions
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Risking important relationships, education, or job opportunities

Self-Help Tools & Features

Most responsible sportsbooks offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling. These may include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Cap the maximum amount you're willing to lose over a set period
• Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications about your gambling activity and time spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block your account to take a break from gambling
• Account Cooling Off: Pause your account for a set period before gambling resumes
• Betting Limits: Set maximum wager amounts per bet

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
