Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Sports betting should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.
Remember: the house always has an edge. Only bet what you can afford to lose, and never gamble with money needed for essential expenses like rent, food, or utilities.
Age Requirements
Sports betting is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Canada, or the legal age of majority in your province.
By using tesllondon.org, you confirm that you meet these age requirements and are legally permitted to participate in sports betting in your jurisdiction.
