Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At DecaDigitus.ca, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Sports betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only—never as a way to make money or solve financial problems. The house always has an edge, and there are no guaranteed wins. Set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age in your Canadian province or territory) to participate in sports betting activities on this website. DecaDigitus.ca strictly prohibits access to minors and takes underage gambling prevention seriously.

If you are under the legal age, please do not use our services. Parents and guardians: monitor your family's online activities and use parental controls to prevent unauthorized access.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following behaviors in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what you've lost
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, utilities, food, medication)
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Needing to bet larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Repeatedly trying unsuccessfully to reduce or control gambling
• Neglecting family, work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
• Borrowing money or using credit to finance gambling
• Experiencing mood swings or depression related to gambling outcomes
• Using gambling as a way to escape problems or negative emotions

Self-Help Tools & Player Protections

DecaDigitus.ca and our partner sportsbooks offer several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on the amount you can deposit into your account
• Loss Limits: Set limits on net losses over a specified period
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications reminding you how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
• Time-Out/Cool-Off Period: Temporarily suspend your account for a set period (hours to weeks)
• Self-Exclusion: Permanently close your account and exclude yourself from gaming activities

We encourage you to use these tools proactively if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic.
