Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
Sports betting should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment with money you can afford to lose. It is not a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting outcomes are based on chance, and the house always has a mathematical edge over time.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set strict limits on time and money spent, and never chase losses.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in sports betting (or the legal age in your province, whichever is higher). Some provinces set the minimum age at 19.
We do not permit access to our services by anyone under the legal gambling age. If you are underage, please do not attempt to register or place bets.
