Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Betting
At Escouade Propulsion, we believe that sports betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling should never be viewed as a source of income or a solution to money troubles.
We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and providing resources to help you maintain control over your betting activities.
Age Verification
Sports betting in Canada is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the applicable legal age in your province or territory). By using our website, you confirm that you meet this requirement.
We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Constantly thinking about gambling or past betting experiences
- Needing to bet with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Repeatedly trying to reduce or stop gambling without success
- Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what you've lost
- Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Neglecting work, school, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or experiencing financial difficulties because of gambling
- Lying to loved ones about the extent of your gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
If you recognize these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.
