Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At afpac.ca, we believe sports betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Betting should never be viewed as 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 in Canada is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all users during registration.

It is illegal to gamble if you are under the legal age in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:

• Chasing losses by betting more money to recover previous losses
• Spending more time and money on betting than intended
• Hiding betting activity or lying about the amount wagered
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not betting
• Neglecting work, school, family, or personal relationships due to betting
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund betting activities
• Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop betting
• Using betting as a way to escape problems or negative feelings
• Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling habits

Self-Help Tools

We offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been betting and how much you've wagered
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account if you need a break
• Account Cooling-Off: Take a mandatory break from betting for a set period

To access these tools, log into your account or contact our customer support team.
