Responsible Gaming

Introduction

Sports betting should be enjoyed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The odds are always in favor of the sportsbook, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Please gamble responsibly and only wager what you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

Sports betting in Canada is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or 19+ in some provinces). By using our site, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

• Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover previous losses
• Hiding your gambling activities or lying about the amount you gamble
• Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or essential expenses
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut back or stop gambling
• Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gambling

• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Failed attempts to control, reduce, or stop gambling
