Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At needorgreed.ca, we are committed to promoting safe and responsible sports betting. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to bet, please do so responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

Sports betting is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Canada (19+ in some provinces). By using needorgreed.ca, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction. We reserve the right to request age verification at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

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

• Gambling more frequently or with larger amounts than intended
• Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what you've lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the time or money spent gambling
• Experiencing mood changes (anxiety, irritability) when unable to gamble
• Neglecting work, school, family, or social obligations due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
• Failed attempts to stop or cut back on gambling
• Risking important relationships, jobs, or educational opportunities

Self-Help Tools

Many sportsbooks offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set maximum amounts you're willing to deposit over a specific period (daily, weekly, monthly)
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're prepared to lose
• Betting Limits: Restrict the size of individual bets
• Reality Checks: Enable notifications that remind you how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling accounts
• Session Timeouts: Automatically log out after a set period of inactivity

Take advantage of these tools to maintain healthy gambling habits.
