Responsible Gaming
At TonyBet, we are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming. We believe that gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to solve financial problems or escape from personal issues.
⚠️ Important Age Restriction
You must be 19 years or older to participate in online gaming in Ontario, Canada. We take age verification seriously and implement strict measures to prevent underage gambling.
Signs of Problem Gambling
It's important to recognize the warning signs that gaming may be becoming a problem:
- Spending more time or money gaming than you can afford
- Gaming to escape problems or negative feelings
- Lying about your gaming activities
- Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities
- Borrowing money to fund gaming activities
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gaming
- Chasing losses with bigger bets
- Gaming despite negative consequences

Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit into your account.
Time Limits

Tips for Responsible Gaming
- Set a budget: Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
- Set time limits: Decide how long you want to play before you start
- Never chase losses: Don't try to win back money you've lost
- Take regular breaks: Gaming should not interfere with other activities
- Don't gamble when upset: Avoid gaming when you're angry, depressed, or stressed
