Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution
At BetMGM Sports Betting Canada, we believe that sports betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Requirements
Sports betting in Canada is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older in most provinces, or 19 years or older in British Columbia, Nova Scotia, and the Northwest Territories. BetMGM is committed to preventing underage gambling. By using this website, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.
