Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At BetMGM Sports Betting Canada, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Sports betting and gambling should be viewed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only wager what you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

BetMGM Sports Betting is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Canada (19+ in some provinces). We take age verification seriously and require all users to verify their identity during registration. It is illegal for minors to participate in sports betting or gambling activities.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you or someone you know exhibits any of the following behaviors, it may indicate a problem with gambling:

• Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what was lost
• Hiding gambling activities or the amount of money spent from family and friends
• Lying about gambling habits or time spent gambling
• Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food, medication)
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Neglecting work, school, family, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling activities
• Experiencing relationship problems due to gambling behavior

Self-Help Tools

BetMGM provides several responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you are willing to lose within a given timeframe
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you have been gambling and how much you have wagered
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you feel you need a break from gambling
• Time-Out: Take a mandatory break from your account for a period you specify

All of these tools are available in your BetMGM account settings. We encourage you to use them proactively.
