Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Willowbrook Homes, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Sports betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Sports betting in Canada is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (19 years or older in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec). We strictly verify the age of all users before allowing access to betting services. If you are under the legal gambling age in your province, please do not attempt to register or place bets.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognize any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Gambling more frequently or with larger amounts than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time and money spent
- Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or gambling with money needed for essentials
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Gambling despite negative financial, personal, or legal consequences
Self-Help Tools & Limits
Most reputable sportsbooks offer tools to help you manage your gambling responsibly. These may include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you're willing to lose over a set period
- Betting Limits: Restrict the size of individual bets
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing betting services
- Account Closure: Request permanent closure of your betting account
We encourage you to use these tools to maintain control over your gambling activities.
