Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At BetMGM Sports Betting Canada, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Sports betting and gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes problematic.
Age Verification
BetMGM Sports Betting is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). We strictly verify the age and identity of all users before allowing access to our platform. If you are under the legal age, you are not permitted to use our services.

- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount wagered
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Experiencing anxiety, stress, or mood changes related to gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Losing relationships or job opportunities due to gambling
- Feeling irritable or restless when unable to gamble
Self-Help Tools & Controls
BetMGM Sports Betting Canada provides several tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose before your account is temporarily suspended.
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you have been gambling and how much you have spent.
- Session Limits: Set time limits for your gaming sessions to prevent excessive play.
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from your account for a period you choose. During this time, you will not be able to access your account or place bets.
