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. It's important to understand that the odds are always in favor of the sportsbook, and losing is a natural part of the experience. Please bet only what you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age in your province) to participate in sports betting. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all users. If you are under the legal age in your jurisdiction, please do not use sports betting services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please review the following checklist. If you recognize any of these 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 gambling activities or lying about the amount wagered
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Neglecting work, school, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling activities
- Experiencing relationship conflicts related to gambling habits
- Failed attempts to cut back or control gambling behavior
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gambling Features
Most licensed sportsbooks offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a cap on the amount you're willing to lose during a set period
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing your account for a period of time ranging from days to years

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain a healthy relationship with sports betting.
