Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Scool.ca, we believe sports betting should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While many people gamble responsibly for fun, it's important to understand the risks and maintain control over your gaming habits.
Remember: The house always has an edge. 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 (or the legal age in your province, whichever is higher). We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify all users' ages during registration.
If you are under the legal age, please do not use our services. Parents and guardians: talk to your children about the risks of gambling.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling: Keeping your gambling activities secret from family or friends
- Loss of Control: Being unable to stick to limits you've set for yourself
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or neglecting family obligations
- Using Gambling to Cope: Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing Money: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling activities
- Tolerance: Needing to gamble larger amounts to get the same excitement
- Withdrawal Symptoms: Feeling irritable or anxious when trying to cut down
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.
