Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At BetMGM Sports Betting Canada, we believe that sports betting should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Sports betting is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Canada. If you are under the legal age, please do not participate in gambling activities. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and maintaining a safe environment for all users.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognizing problem gambling early can help you take control. Review the following checklist:
- Chasing losses by betting more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Experiencing financial hardship as a result of gambling
- Risking important relationships, job, or education opportunities
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help.
