Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Holland River Marina, we believe sports betting should be enjoyable entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only bet what you can afford to lose, and always gamble for fun—not as an investment or income source.

Age Verification

Sports betting in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your province, whichever is higher). We do not permit gambling by minors under any circumstances. If you are underage, please do not use sports betting services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognize these warning signs that gambling may become a problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Neglecting work, school, family, or social obligations due to gambling
• Experiencing anxiety or irritability when trying to reduce or stop gambling
• Failed attempts to cut back or control gambling
• Jeopardizing relationships or opportunities because of gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Many sportsbooks offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you're willing to lose during a set period
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a set period or permanently
• Session Limits: Set time limits for each gambling session
• Account Cooling Off: Temporarily suspend your account for reflection

Talk to your sportsbook about activating these tools—they're designed to help you stay in control.
