Responsible Gaming

Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always play within your means and treat any losses as the cost of your entertainment. If gambling stops being fun, it’s time to step back.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal age for gambling in your province or territory of Canada (whichever is higher) to participate in any gambling activity. We encourage all users to verify their age and comply with local laws. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise several of the following signs in yourself or someone you care about, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses — trying to win back money you have already lost
• Hiding your gambling activity from family or friends
• Spending more time or money on gambling than you intended
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
• Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities because of gambling
• Lying about how much you gamble
• Feeling guilty, anxious, or depressed after gambling
• Being unable to stop or cut back despite wanting to

Self-Help Tools

Use the following tools to help you stay in control of your gambling:

• Deposit limits — set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month
• Loss limits — cap the total amount you can lose in a given period
• Reality checks — receive reminders of how long you have been playing
• Time-outs — take a short break from gambling (e.g., 24 hours to 6 weeks)
• Self-exclusion — block yourself from gambling for a longer period (6 months to 5 years or permanently)

Most reputable platforms, including those for bitcoin betting, offer these tools in your account settings.
