Responsible Gaming
Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Set limits for yourself, play within your means, and never chase losses. If gambling stops being fun, it’s time to pause and seek support.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years or older to gamble online, or meet the legal gambling age in your Canadian province or territory. Underage gambling is illegal. We encourage parents and guardians to use parental controls and keep login credentials secure.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognizing the signs early can help protect you and your loved ones. Ask yourself if you or someone you know:
- Chase losses by betting more to win back money
- Hide gambling activity from family or friends
- Spend more time or money on gambling than intended
- Feel restless or irritable when trying to cut back
- Borrow money or sell possessions to gamble
- Neglect work, school, or relationships due to gambling
- Lie about wins or losses
If you answered yes to any of these, consider reaching out to a support organization listed below.
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable betting sites offer tools to help you stay in control. Use them proactively:
- Deposit limits – cap how much you can add to your account daily, weekly, or monthly
- Loss limits – set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Reality checks – receive reminders about how long you have been playing
- Self-exclusion – temporarily or permanently block access to your account
Contact customer support on your betting platform to activate these features.
