Responsible Gambling

Before you play

• Set a budget you can afford to lose entirely, and a time limit.
• Use operator tools: deposit limits, session reminders, self-exclusion.
• Don't bet to win back losses, or under the influence of alcohol or strong emotion.

Warning signs

• Betting more, or more often, than planned.
• Hiding your gambling from people close to you.
• Borrowing money to gamble.
• Gambling affecting your sleep, work or relationships.

Getting help

Gambling is regulated provincially in Canada, and every province runs its own free, confidential helpline:

• Québec — Jeu: aide et référence, 24/7, bilingual: 1-800-461-0140 (Montréal area: 514-527-0140), aidejeu.ca
• British Columbia — Problem Gambling Help Line: 1-888-795-6111
• Manitoba — Addictions Help Line: 1-800-463-1554
• Saskatchewan — Problem Gambling Helpline, 24/7: 1-800-306-6789

Not listed? Check the CCSA's pan-Canadian directory (ccsa.ca), or ask your doctor or a local health service.

Legal age

The legal betting age depends on the province: 18 in Québec and Manitoba, 19 elsewhere in the country where our offers are available. SVRNG BET is not available in Ontario or Alberta. Check the threshold that applies where you live before betting. Operators verify age and identity; parental-control software can block these sites on a family device.
