Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Sports betting should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. At Celebrate Parks, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and ensuring that all players can enjoy sports betting safely and responsibly.
Remember: the odds are always in favor of the sportsbook. Only bet what you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Sports betting in Canada is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (19+ in some provinces including Ontario). By using Celebrate Parks, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your province of residence.
It is illegal for anyone under the legal age to participate in sports betting. We verify age at registration and reserve the right to request additional documentation.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of these warning signs in your behavior, please seek help immediately:
- Betting more money or more frequently than intended
- Chasing losses by betting more to recover money lost
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Hiding or lying about the extent of your gambling activity
- Experiencing mood swings related to betting outcomes
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Continued gambling despite negative financial, social, or personal consequences
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
If you've experienced three or more of these signs in the past 12 months, you may have a gambling problem and should seek professional help.
