Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

Sports 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. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

Sports betting in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the applicable legal age in your province). By accessing BetMGM Sports Betting Canada, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.

If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not participate in betting activities.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Constantly thinking about gambling or past betting experiences
• Needing to bet larger amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
• Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
• Feeling anxious or irritable when attempting to reduce or stop gambling
• Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what you've lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time and money spent
• Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
• Jeopardizing relationships, education, or career opportunities due to gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• Feeling desperate about gambling debts or financial consequences

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Resources

Most responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific time period
• Loss Limits: Establish a limit on how much you're willing to lose
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Time-Out: Take a temporary break from your account to step back and reassess
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from your account for a set period or permanently

Use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
