Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Metis Trackers, we believe sports betting should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only wager money you can afford to lose, and never gamble to recover losses or escape personal difficulties.
Age Verification & Legal Requirements
You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your Canadian province/territory) to participate in sports betting through our affiliated operators.
By accessing sports betting services, you confirm that you meet these age requirements and are legally permitted to gamble in your jurisdiction.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more time or money gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the extent of gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional problems
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or relationships due to gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Experiencing financial hardship as a result of gambling
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gambling Features
Most licensed operators offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose in a day, week, or month
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from betting accounts
- Time-Out Periods: Take a break from gambling for a set duration
Use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
