Responsible Gaming
At Betsider, we want betting and casino gaming to stay what it should always be: fun, entertaining, and within your control. While most people gamble without any issues, for some it can become a problem. We are committed to helping every player enjoy our platform responsibly, and we provide a range of free tools to help you stay in control.
Setting Limits
You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your account settings. Once a limit is set, it cannot be increased immediately; any request to raise a limit takes effect only after a short cooling-off period. You can also set loss limits and wagering limits to help manage your spending over time.
Time-Outs and Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need a break, you can activate a temporary time-out on your account for a period of your choosing. For players who need a longer-term solution, we offer self-exclusion options that restrict access to your account for an extended period. During self-exclusion, marketing communications are also stopped.
Reality Checks
Reality check notifications can be enabled to remind you how long you have been playing during a session, helping you stay aware of your time spent on the platform.
Signs of Problem Gambling
It is worth checking in with yourself occasionally. Signs that gambling may be becoming a problem can include betting more than you can afford to lose, chasing losses, neglecting responsibilities, or feeling anxious when you are not betting. If any of this sounds familiar, please consider reaching out for support.
Support Organizations
Independent, professional support is available if you need it. The following authoritative organizations offer confidential advice and assistance:
- BeGambleAware – independent advice and support for anyone concerned about their gambling.
- Gamblers Anonymous – a fellowship of people who share their experience to help each other recover from gambling problems.
- Responsible Gambling Council – a Canadian non-profit dedicated to problem gambling prevention.
Age Verification
Betsider is intended strictly for players aged 19 and over in Canada. We use identity verification checks to confirm the age and identity of every account holder, and we do not knowingly allow anyone under the legal age to register or play.
Your wellbeing matters to us. If you are ever unsure whether your gambling habits are healthy, please use the tools on this page or reach out to one of the organizations listed above.
