Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At MyCapis.ca, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Sports betting should be an entertaining activity, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to participate in sports betting in Canada. MyCapis.ca is intended exclusively for adults. If you are under the legal age of majority in your province, you are not permitted to use our services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following signs, it may be time to seek help:

- Hiding or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Gambling with money meant for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
- Unable to stick to predetermined betting limits
- Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling behavior
- Feeling anxious or stressed when not gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from personal problems or negative emotions
