Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Bitcoin sportsbooks and online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, supplement income, or solve financial problems. Only wager what you can afford to lose, and always gamble for fun—never out of desperation or as an investment strategy.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your Canadian province) to participate in online sports betting and gambling activities. All players must verify their age and identity in compliance with provincial and federal gambling regulations in Canada.
If you are under the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction, you are not permitted to use this website or any affiliated sportsbooks.

Do you recognize any of these warning signs in your behavior? If so, please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost

- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities
