Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At johnwanlessjrps.com, we believe that online gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It's important to gamble responsibly, within your means, and only with money you can afford to lose.

We are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices for all our users in Canada.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your province) to use our services and place bets. In Canada, the legal gambling age varies by province but is typically 18 or 19 years old.

We strictly prohibit access to our platform by anyone under the legal gambling age. Underage gambling is harmful and illegal.

Do you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know?

• Chasing losses: Continuing to gamble in attempts to recover money you've lost
