Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Cryptocurrency betting and online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always maintain a healthy perspective on gaming as a leisure activity.
Age Verification
Gaming and betting services are restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Canada. If you are under the legal age for gambling in your province or territory, you must not participate in any betting activities on this site.
We are committed to preventing underage gambling and reserve the right to verify age and close accounts that do not meet age requirements.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate a developing gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by betting more money to try to recover what you've lost
- Hiding or being secretive about your gambling activities
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or other essential expenses
- Spending more time and money on gambling than planned
- Neglecting family, work, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Experiencing anxiety or irritability when attempting to reduce gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Lying to friends and family about the extent of your gambling
- Returning to gamble again and again to try to win back losses
If you recognize any of these signs in your own behavior, please reach out for help immediately.
