Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At lpweb.ca, we believe sports betting should be an enjoyable form of entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please bet only what you can afford to lose and always gamble responsibly.
Age Verification
Sports 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). By using lpweb.ca, you confirm that you meet these age requirements.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:

- Chasing losses by continuing to gamble in an attempt to recover money
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about how much time or money you spend gambling
- Experiencing mood changes when gambling or when trying to stop
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
