Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

Sports betting and online gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose. Remember that the house always has an edge, and losing is a natural part of gambling.

Age Verification

In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your province, whichever is higher) to participate in sports betting and online gambling. It is illegal for anyone under the legal age to gamble. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and will verify your age during registration.

Parents and guardians: If you're concerned about a young person's gambling habits, please reach out to support services listed below.
