Responsible Gambling

At MapleBetting, we are committed to promoting a culture of responsible gambling and ensuring that our users engage with our platform in a safe and enjoyable way. We encourage taking regular breaks and prioritizing responsible decision-making when participating in any form of betting.

The Importance of Responsible Gambling

We believe gambling should be viewed strictly as entertainment—not a way to generate income. While many claim to have systems or strategies for consistent wins, it's important to remember that no outcome is guaranteed. Even individuals with strong self-control can be susceptible to harmful gambling habits, especially when exposed to frequent promotions and bonuses.

Be wary of anyone promising guaranteed profits—these claims are often misleading or fraudulent. Understanding and utilizing the responsible gambling tools available on our site and across licensed Canadian platforms is essential to maintaining control over your gambling habits.

Tools for Responsible Gambling

Licensed sportsbooks and casinos in Canada—particularly in regulated provinces like Ontario—are required to provide tools that promote safe and controlled betting. At MapleBetting, we support and encourage the use of these tools:

  1. Deposit Limits – Set a cap on how much you can deposit to stay within your budget.
  2. Reality Checks – Receive alerts on how much time you’ve spent gambling and track your activity.
  3. Time-Outs / Cool-Off Periods – Temporarily suspend your account to take a short break.
  4. Self-Exclusion – Permanently or temporarily block yourself from accessing gambling platforms.
  5. Budget Calculators & Activity Logs – Review your spending and betting patterns to make informed decisions.
  6. Self-Assessment Tools – Reflect on your gambling habits with quizzes designed to highlight risky behaviours.

If you're in Ontario, support is also available through ConnexOntario, a 24/7 confidential helpline offering advice, support, and resources for gambling-related concerns. Visit www.connexontario.ca or call 1-866-531-2600.

Tips for Responsible Gambling

Here are some helpful guidelines to ensure your gambling remains a positive experience:

  1. Treat gambling as a form of fun, not a way to earn money.
  2. Set and stick to a budget—only bet what you can afford to lose.
  3. Never chase losses. Trying to win back money often leads to more losses.
  4. Avoid gambling when feeling stressed, anxious, or upset.
  5. Take regular breaks to maintain a healthy perspective.
  6. Set both time and spending limits in advance.
  7. Never gamble under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  8. Talk to friends or family if you're worried about your gambling habits.
  9. Review your account history to stay aware of your activity.

Signs of Gambling Addiction

Watch out for these warning signs in yourself or someone close to you:

  1. Betting more than you can afford or trying to recoup losses.
  2. Feeling unable to take breaks from gambling.
  3. Constant preoccupation with gambling.
  4. Hiding or lying about gambling behaviour.
  5. Financial problems related to gambling (borrowing money, selling items).
  6. Increased stress, anxiety, or depression linked to betting.
  7. Neglecting personal or professional responsibilities due to gambling.

If you notice these signs, it's important to reach out for help. There are free and confidential support services available across Canada, including ConnexOntario and other provincial resources.
