Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling

At florentveilleux.ca, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Sports betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.

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). By using our website, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction. We reserve the right to verify your age at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognize any of the following warning signs in your behavior, please seek help immediately:

• Chasing losses by betting more money to recover previous losses
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills, medication)
• Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or loved ones
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or guilty about your gambling
• Losing track of time or money spent gambling
• Neglecting work, school, family, or personal relationships due to gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to feel the same excitement

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Many sportsbooks and gambling platforms offer tools to help you maintain control. Consider using:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
• Loss Limits: Restrict the total amount you're willing to lose in a day, week, or month
• Reality Checks: Enable reminders during gambling sessions to help you track time and spending
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic session duration limits
• Betting Limits: Cap the maximum bet amount per wager

We strongly encourage you to use these tools if you feel your gambling may be getting out of control.
