Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Arise On The Go, we believe online betting should be an enjoyable form of entertainment. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It's important to only wager what you can afford to lose and to maintain control over your gaming habits.
Age Verification
Online betting in Canada is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). We are committed to preventing underage gambling and require all users to verify their age during registration.
If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, please do not participate in online betting.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of the following warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, utilities, food)
- Hiding your gambling activity or lying about the amount you gamble
- Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to cut back or stop gambling
- Gambling longer or with larger amounts than intended
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Experiencing physical symptoms like sleep disruption or stress
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Resources
Most online betting platforms offer built-in tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific period (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose during a session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications reminding you how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account or use GamStop (see support organizations below)
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic timeouts to limit your playing sessions
These tools are designed to help you stay in control. We encourage you to use them proactively.
