Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Chow Martin, we believe online betting should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we provide a platform for adult gaming, it's important to understand that all forms of gambling carry inherent risks.

Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always set limits before you play.

Age Verification

Online betting in Canada is strictly reserved for individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). Chow Martin is committed to preventing underage gambling and verifies the age of all users during registration.

If you are under the legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction, please do not access our platform.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:

• Chasing losses by betting more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities or lying about the amount you gamble
• Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or other essential expenses
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Increasing the amount you bet to feel the same excitement
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or education due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Losing control over your gambling habits
