Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At Nellie's Cosmic, we believe that sports betting should be an enjoyable form of entertainment. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices for all our users.

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 their province). We strictly verify the age of all users before allowing access to our platform. If you are not of legal age to gamble, please do not proceed.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Constantly thinking about gambling or planning your next bet
• Gambling with increasingly larger amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
• Repeatedly trying to cut back or quit but being unable to do so
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Neglecting personal relationships, work, or education due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape negative emotions or stress
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling activities
• Experiencing mood swings, irritability, or anxiety when unable to gamble
• Jeopardizing important relationships, opportunities, or finances because of gambling
