Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Sunrise Performing Arts, we believe cryptocurrency betting should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Betting should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. It is important to approach all gaming activities with realistic expectations and a healthy mindset.

Remember: The house always has a mathematical advantage. Only bet what you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

Gaming on this site is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal age of majority in their province of residence in Canada, whichever is greater. By accessing our services, you confirm that you meet these age requirements.

If you are under the legal age, please do not participate in any betting activities.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Review the following checklist and seek help if you recognize any of these behaviors:

• Betting more money or time than intended
• Repeatedly trying to cut back or control gambling without success
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the extent of your betting
• Neglecting work, school, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Risking important relationships, education, or career opportunities
• Experiencing financial difficulties or debt as a result of gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone else, it's time to seek help.
