Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At BetMGM Sports Betting Canada, we believe that sports betting should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please bet only with money you can afford to lose and always gamble responsibly.

To use BetMGM Sports Betting Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province). We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all users. If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to create an account.
