Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

Sports betting should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. At Museum of Miniatures, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting our Canadian players.

Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and set realistic expectations about the outcomes of your bets.

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). All players must verify their age before participating in any betting activities.

We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request documentation to confirm your eligibility.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:

• Chasing losses: Betting more money to recover previous losses
• Hiding gambling activity: Concealing betting habits from family, friends, or partners
• Inability to stop: Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or control betting
• Neglecting responsibilities: Prioritizing gambling over work, school, or personal obligations
• Borrowing money: Using loans, credit cards, or borrowing from others to fund betting
• Mood changes: Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or depression related to gambling
• Escalating stakes: Needing to bet larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Relationship strain: Conflict with loved ones over gambling habits

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable sportsbooks offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set timeframe
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from betting activities
• Cool-Off Periods: Take a break from gambling for a set duration

We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
